Difference between Stroke and Thrombolysis

Stroke vs. Thrombolysis

A stroke is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain results in cell death. Thrombolysis is the breakdown (lysis) of blood clots formed in blood vessels, using medication.

Similarities between Stroke and Thrombolysis

Stroke and Thrombolysis have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alteplase, Angiography, Artery, Blood vessel, Deep vein thrombosis, Myocardial infarction, Pulmonary embolism, Stroke, Thrombus, Tissue plasminogen activator.

Alteplase

Alteplase (trade names Activase, Actilyse) is a thrombolytic drug, used to treat acute myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) and other severe conditions caused by blood clotting by breaking up the blood clots that cause them.

Angiography

Angiography or arteriography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside, or lumen, of blood vessels and organs of the body, with particular interest in the arteries, veins and the heart chambers.

Artery

An artery (plural arteries) is a blood vessel that takes blood away from the heart to all parts of the body (tissues, lungs, etc).

Blood vessel

The blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system, and microcirculation, that transports blood throughout the human body.

Deep vein thrombosis

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), is the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, most commonly the legs.

Myocardial infarction

Myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops to a part of the heart, causing damage to the heart muscle.

Pulmonary embolism

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has moved from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism).

Thrombus

A thrombus, colloquially called a blood clot, is the final product of the blood coagulation step in hemostasis.

Tissue plasminogen activator

Tissue plasminogen activator (abbreviated tPA or PLAT) is a protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots.
