What distinguishes a stroke from a heart attack?

Answer 1

Yes.

Because the arteries in the heart are clogged

A stroke is a disruption of the blood supply to the brain can cause part of the brain not to function. A heart attack is an interruption of the blood supply to the heart due to for example, blockage of artery leading to the heart. Causes heart cells to die.

Answer 2

A stroke and a heart attack are very similar and is caused by not enough blood getting to the brain (stroke) or heart (heart attack). Both are deadly and both can result in permanent damage if someone survives.

Answer 3

A heart attack is an attack directed at the heart. A stroke is blockage that occurs in a blood vessel in the brain.

There is very little difference. Heart attacks happen when blood vessels supplying the heart with blood get blocked, leading to cardiac arrest and in extreme cases leading to the death of heart tissue.
Strokes happen when blood vessels supplying the brain with blood get blocked, sometimes leading to the death of those cells because they were starved of oxygen.
Usually the blockage is caused by a thrombosis (a blood clot) coupled with narrowing and hardening of the vessels because of a build-up of cholesterol.

Answer 4

A stroke is brain failure due to lack of oxygen and a cardiac arrest happens due to the heart ceasing or a function of your heart is interrupted.
