This is a question that I ask myself constantly as I walk into work. The answer is pretty simple: Heart attacks happen when a clot breaks away from the heart muscle, while strokes happen when a blood vessel that feeds the heart dies. For most of us, the difference is pretty simple: heart attacks take longer to recover from and more often cause more internal damage so the brain is not properly supplied with oxygen and the person is in danger of having a stroke.
That’s a good rule of thumb, but it’s a little too simplistic for the job that we do. We do a lot of things besides just trying to keep a person alive. We have to treat them with respect and with compassion, we have to try to get them to understand that they cannot take on a life of their own, that our only job is to help them get well.
We don’t always succeed, but we do try. While there is usually a good reason why things don’t go well, they do go well in the end. It’s when we have a stroke that it’s the worst thing that can happen. The brain is not properly supplied with oxygen and the brain is starved for nutrients, which causes it to be starved for energy.
The bad news is that stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the US, and the good news is that there is a treatment for it. The treatment is called PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) and it is usually used in conjunction with a stent. The goal is to remove the clot that causes the stroke, and then replace it with a newer clot that will not cause the stroke in the future.
PCI is performed on the side where the stroke happens. The side of the brain is where the clot is most likely to return in the future, so it is on this side of the body where PCI is most effective. This is why people with a history of stroke should go to PCI first. If you’re not able to undergo PCI because you’ve had a stroke, you could be better served by undergoing angioplasty where the clot is extracted and replaced before it returns.
A stroke is a sudden, complete loss of brain function. A heart attack is a sudden, violent, irregular heartbeat. The same amount of blood is pumped into the heart to pump blood through the body. If the blood is not allowed to flow normally, a heart attack can occur. If the clot is not removed, the clot can lodge in the brain and cause a stroke.
For the sake of our hearts, we should also note that the two terms do not denote the same thing. A stroke is a sudden, complete loss of brain function. A heart attack is sudden, violent, irregular heartbeat. The same amount of blood is pumped into the heart to pump blood through the body.
The heart is what pumps blood through the body. The brain is what is responsible for all of the body’s functions and processes, including thinking, learning, learning how to do something, and making decisions. A stroke is an abrupt, complete loss of brain function. A heart attack is sudden, violent, irregular heartbeat. The same amount of blood is pumped into the heart to pump blood through the body.
