Acute myocardial infarction (AMI or MI), commonly known as a heart attack, is a disease that occurs when the blood supply to a part of the heart is interrupted, causing death of heart tissue. It is the leading cause of death for both men and women all over the world. The term myocardial infarction is derived from myocardium (the heart muscle) and infarction (tissue death). The phrase "heart attack" sometimes refers to heart problems other than MI, such as unstable angina pectoris and sudden cardiac death.

The latest terminology for this one is called
"Coronary Event." Don't know why. Doctors like to change terminology a lot; this one usually covers all the types, so I guess that is why it is now called an "event."
Coronary refers to an artery.
Myocardial Infarction is the correct spelling for this term which is also used for heart attack.
