Angina pectoris refers to chest pain caused by insufficient supply of oxygen to the heart muscle.
Myocardial infarction is a coronary artery disorder which involves sudden death of part of heart muscle due to blockage of coronary artery(the artery which supplies fresh blood to heart muscles)

AP is the pain felt.
MI is the actual physical blockage of blood flow to your heart.

The first is painful and signals disease, the second is a heart attack.
