What can cause a stroke or heart diseases ? And if a person has a stroke or heart diseases than what will happen.
I know smoking can cause a stroke or heart diseases , But what really is going on with a stroke or heart diseases is it a lack of blood?
Okay is respiratory diseases the same has a heart diseases?
blood clots.
and a stroke is when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel in a brain and the brain runs out of oxygen
and second hand smoke
It is not the lack of blood. It is the lack of oxygenated blood that our organs need especially the heart.
Respiratory diseases are not the same as heart diseases but they are greatly connected with each other. Lungs and heart are essential for the oxygenated blood to circulate throughout the body.
Lack of oxygen. Improper diet. Using illegal drugs. For some it is genetic. Hope this helps some.

I’m not sure it can be from a lack of blood, but it can be from a build of plaque in arteries, especially the coronary arteries (supplies blood to heart) or carotid arteries(supplies blood to head). If plaque builds up over time , this can lead to a blood clot and can cause heart attack or stroke. Including, having high cholestoral promotes plaque build up.
So summary:
- build up of plaque (atherosclerosis)
- Having high blood pressure
- coronary spasms can cause heart attacks
- high cholesterol
These are some factors that can lead to causing heart diseases and stroke!
p.s respitory disease has to do with lungs etc. and this does not contribute to heart attacks or strokes.
