Based on the lectures, which of the following may lead to additional damage following CVA?
a. DVT and PE
b. Ca++ inflow
c. hemorrhagic transformation
d. hydrocephalus



Answer :

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Hemorrhagic transformation refers to the conversion of an ischemic stroke (CVA) into a hemorrhagic stroke, where there is bleeding into the brain tissue. This can lead to additional damage following a CVA because the bleeding can increase pressure in the brain, disrupt normal brain function, and cause further injury to surrounding brain tissue. It can worsen the initial symptoms of the stroke and lead to more severe outcomes.
