Solution

The type of cerebrovascular attack that occurs due to decreased blood flow is called Ischemic.

Explanation

  1. Cerebrovascular Attack (CVA): This is a medical term for a stroke, which can occur when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients.
  2. Types of Stroke:
    • Ischemic Stroke: The most common type, representing about 87% of all strokes, occurs when a blood clot blocks or narrows an artery leading to the brain, decreasing blood flow.
    • Hemorrhagic Stroke: This occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or ruptures, which is not directly related to a decrease in blood flow.
    • Minor and Major strokes are not specific classifications of the type of attack in the context of blood flow but rather indicate the severity of the stroke.

Thus, the correct answer is Ischemic.
