Heart: With damage, enzyme leakage from cardiac cells can be detected in blood. Cpk or troponins elevation are the common. With stroke less blood work help! but fast face, arm speech defects and time to move to er 911.

Heart attack/stroke: Heart attack would show up in the blood. Stroke would not. Heart attack would show elevation of enzymes - troponin, ck and fractions usually.
