    What is the difference between a heart attack and a stroke?

    Question #59871. Asked by my_baby_love.

    Priscilla9

    A heart attack occurs in the heart...a stroke is more in touch with the brain.

    Both are a result of blocked arteries... with a heart attack, the blocked arteries are feeding the heart muscles, and those muscles are not getting the oxygen and nutrients they need to function.

    With a stroke, the blocked arteries are in the brain, and those brain cells are not getting what they need to function... depending on where in the brain it occurs, different functions are affected (e.g., speech, writing ability, and so on...)

    A third place where blocked arteries occur is in the lungs... then it is called a pulmonary embolism.
