Abstract
Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is broadly defined as any disruption of brain function arising from some pathological condition related to the blood vessels (Walsh, 1987). In lay terms, it is more commonly referred to as stroke and is one of the most common neurologic diseases of adult life (Adams & Victor, 1989). Stroke represents the third leading cause of death in the United States, after heart disease and cancer (American Heart Association, 1988), and accounts for at least 50% of the neurological disorders present in a general hospital setting (Adams & Victor, 1989). In general, there has been an increased awareness and understanding of stroke during the second half of the 20th century (Wiebe-Velazquez & Hachinski, 1991).
