A myocardial infarction (MI) is the medical term for heart attack.

This is a myocardial infarction (MI) or a heart attack. The term myocardial deconstructs into the suffix -al meaning pertaining to, root/combining form my/o- meaning muscle, and root -cardi- meaning heart. The term infarction deconstructs into the suffix -ion meaning process, prefix in- meaning in, and root -farct- meaning stuff.
