The incidence of cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) in Accra during three periods--1960-1968, 1976-1983, and 1990-1993, was compared. There was dramatic increase in the incidence between 1990-1993. Uncontrolled hypertension due to non-compliance with drug therapy seems to be the main cause. The economic plight of the people may explain the non compliance. The case fatality was between 41.9% to 50.3% for the years 1990-1993. Cardiovascular diseases, notably hypertension and CVA, have become the major causes of morbidity and mortality in Accra.
对阿克拉在三个时间段（1960 - 1968年、1976 - 1983年以及1990 - 1993年）的脑血管意外（CVA）发病率进行了比较。1990 - 1993年间发病率急剧上升。因不遵守药物治疗导致的高血压失控似乎是主要原因。民众的经济困境或许可以解释不遵守治疗的情况。1990 - 1993年期间的病死率在41.9%至50.3%之间。心血管疾病，尤其是高血压和脑血管意外，已成为阿克拉发病和死亡的主要原因。
