Cerebrovascular accident has been defined as some neurologic changes due to lack of cerebral blood supply. CVA is the most common CNS disorder and the third factor resulting in death in western countries. Unfortunately, the exact statistic data of the risk factors causing this disorder, in Iran isn’t available. In order to show these factors, this descriptive study has been done on CVA patients in one year. Data gathering was performed by a questionnaire including 17 questions. The questionnaires were filled by the patient’s bedside via using patient’s records, patient’s relatives and patient himself. Data analysis indicated the results such as: Average age of 66, the greatest frequency of Fars race (86%), pre-existing hypertensive disorder (64%), FBS=152 and the highest incidence of sensory and motor disorder. Consequently, applying some educational program can be useful in decreasing the intensity of the agents causing CVA, reducing stroke and its harmful effects and performing rehabilitation program.
