Answer:
Heart attack
Step-by-step explanation:
Myocardial infarction (MI) is the medical terminology for what is colloquially known as a "heart attack." In the condition, there is a decrease or complete cessation of blood supply to the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that give the heart itself the blood it needs to continue functioning normally -- the heart essentially keeps itself alive. Blood clots and deposits of fatty plaque are usually the suspected culprit, blocking the blood to the heart, though rupture of arteries can also cause the pathology. When this happens, cardiac muscle tissues begins to die, and this damage can be irreparable, which can then mean the rest of the vital organs are also in danger.
Myocardial infarctions are like if the heart had a stroke. However, because strokes only occur in the brain, these two terms are not synonymous. Likewise, a cerebrovascular accident, or CVA (of which a stroke is considered), occurs in the cerebrum of the brain which means a myocardial infarction cannot be another term for it. Lastly, arrhythmias do not communicate a cessation of blood to the heart necessarily; one can experience arrhythmias without experiencing an MI.
So, another term for an MI is a heart attack.
