Answer  preview

Cerebrovascular accidents are the third leading cause of death in the United States, only topped by cancer and heart disease. Hypertension is one of the risk factors associated with cerebrovascular accidents (Taylor, 2008). This is because the ailment leads to a degradation of blood vessels, which then affects their walls’ strength and flexibility, restricting the flow of blood into the brain. High cholesterol levels can also increase the likelihood of a person suffering from cerebrovascular accidents (Taylor, 2008). The high cholesterol will lead to inflexibility of the cerebral blood vessel wall, leading to blockage. When such blockage takes place within the cerebral area, brain cells will be deprived of blood, resulting in their death and subsequent paralysis. When a person’s hemoglobin levels are quite high, the risk of suffering from cerebrovascular accidents is relatively high (Taylor, 2008).
