The patient with liver damage would be able to make a full functional recovery. The liver has stable cells which can heal the liver when needed. Brain damage is irreversible so the patient who suffered a stroke will have permanent brain damage. Lastly, The patient with the heart attack has also suffered irreversible damage to his heart.
