Which event is another term for a stroke?

• A. Stroke
• B. Myocardial infarction
• C. Endocarditis
• D. Aneurysm rupture

Answer: (A)

A stroke is a sudden brain injury caused by disrupted blood flow or bleeding in the brain, a type of cerebrovascular event. It’s often described clinically as either ischemic (blocked blood supply) or hemorrhagic (bleeding). Among the options, the term that matches the same event is the one named stroke itself, because it denotes the brain-focused vascular event. The other conditions refer to different processes: a myocardial infarction is a heart attack from a blocked coronary artery; endocarditis is an infection of the heart valves; an aneurysm rupture is a bleeding event from a weakened vessel and isn’t the standard term for a brain stroke.
