No, they are not the same thing. The radicals "cardio" and "vascular" indicate that the heart and blood vessels are concerned. A cardiovascular is an obsolete term for a heart attack (also known as myocardial infarction or coronary thrombosis). A heart attack occurs when a section of heart muscle dies. A heart attack is life threatening and may result in cardiac arrest if no treatment is provided urgently.

A stroke affects the brain and its system of blood vessels. Other terms for stroke include cerebro-vascular accident or transient ischaemic attack. A stroke can occur if a blood vessel in the brain has burst, or if there is an obstruction in one of the blood vessels in the brain. This condition is also life threatening.

While both diseases are life threatening, they are not the same thing.

What is worse a Stroke or a Heart Attack?

I would say a heart attack is worse because it targets the heart, the second most important thing needed for life. There are some cases that people actually survive stokes. But i am not sure about heart attacks.I would say both are dangerous because people survive heart attacks also, including some of my friends. if you survive a stroke, you most likely have serious brain damage, but for a heart attack, your heart is rarely damaged.
