Cerebrovascular disorders refer to a group of conditions that affect the cerebral blood flow as a consequence of blood vessel narrowing (stenosis), clot formation (thrombosis), or blood vessel rupture (hemorrhage). Among the most common cerebrovascular disorders are stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), carotid artery disease, and vascular dementia. Primary and secondary prevention strategies include pharmacotherapy, lifestyle modification and strict management of cardiovascular risk factors.
