No, a stroke is also refered to as a cerebral vascular accident, it is when a blood clot or a bleed occurs in the brain. Heat stroke is when a person or animal gets overheated, eventually the portion of the brain that controls a persons aability to control body temperature is affected and they can no longer sweat to cool the body. Their temp becomes so high there is brain damage and often death.
