A Cerebral Vascular Disease (CVA) also known as a Stroke, is a preventable disease that can devastate a persons life, their families and loved ones. A CVA occurs when there is a decreased, inadequate or poor blood flow to all or part of the brain, this decreased blood flow can cause a decrease in oxygen and glucose, both of which are necessary for cellular metabolism or to keep tissue alive. When this cellular metabolism is prevented it can cause cellular death or (Ischemia). Other causes include bleeding in the brain (hemorrhage) as a result of disease or injury that can leads to permanent brain cell damage or death.

Advantages like new more updated equipment, higher level of medical care with more advanced technology. This leaves the rural areas being unfairly left out, unable to receive this higher quality of care. This has had a massive impact on the Brazilian communities, causing a spike in acute Stoke victims, and the numbers are expected to rise over the coming years. Evidence shows that a preemptive strike is necessary. Lifestyle changes and preventive care is essential in treating the future stroke victims, of Brazil and it all starts with early education . Citizens armed with the knowledge to alter their own behaviors could paint a brighter future for the Brazilian people and effectively cut health care costs for the entire country and save many lives from a Stroke.
