Answer:

Strokes occur in the brain

Heart attacks occur in the heart

Explanation:

Both strokes and heart attacks occur when the blood supply to that part of the body is blocked or interrupted. Strokes occur in the brain, while heart attacks are specific to the heart muscle. Both can be caused when blockages cut off the blood supply and the tissues starves for oxygen and other nutrients. Strokes can also occur when the pressure in a blocked artery causes it to burst and the blood leaks into the brain.

What is the difference between coronary heart disease and congestive heart failure?

mario62 [17]

The heart itself needs blood and nutrients to work properly and gets its share of blood supply from coronary arteries. Coronary heart diseases are linked to coronary arteries. The diseases of coronary arteries are very dangerous; coronary artery diseases like atherosclerosis may cause heart attack.
