I (a) Stroke

English translation: Roman numeral?

09:46 Apr 29, 2008
English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Health Care / Death certificate
English term or phrase: I (a) Stroke
I'm hoping someone can find an explanation for this "I (a)" bit. It comes up in a UK death certificate, under "Cause of death", as follows:

"8. Cause of death
I (a) Stroke

Certified by [Doctor's name] MD"

Then follows point 9.

Although the scan isn't 100%, I'm pretty sure the I is an I not a 1.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Ayman - but I posted this as an English monolingual question, and I'm mainly puzzled by the I (a) bit. Thanks again.
