CVA Concept Map: Structure and Key Terms
A CVA, or cerebrovascular accident, is the medical term for a stroke, where blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted. A CVA concept map organizes the topic into its main branches so you can see how causes, types and outcomes connect. Most maps start from the central idea and split into the categories below.
- Ischemic CVA: blockage of an artery, often by a clot
- Hemorrhagic CVA: bleeding within or around the brain
- Risk factors: hypertension, smoking, diabetes, atrial fibrillation
- Signs: facial droop, arm weakness, speech difficulty
- Care: rapid assessment, imaging and treatment decisions
Use the map to review causes, compare types and practise recalling signs before exams. To build a version tailored to your course notes, create your own CogniGuide map.
CVA Concept Map Questions
Answers to common questions about CVA maps and making your own.
What does CVA stand for?
CVA stands for cerebrovascular accident, the medical term for a stroke. It happens when blood supply to part of the brain is cut off or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, causing damage to brain tissue.
What are the two main types of CVA?
The two main types are ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic CVAs are caused by a blocked artery, while hemorrhagic CVAs result from bleeding in or around the brain.
Which file types can I use to make a CVA map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images of your notes. You can also just type the topic name.
Is it free to make a CVA concept map?
Yes, the free plan allows 5 creations a week with no payment needed. Paid plans raise these limits.
