Lets break up the words.
Anterolateral: Antero-means the front Wall Lateral-means away from the midline.
So in the heart this means the front left wall. (looking down at your own heart)
Myocardial: Myo-means muscle and cardial- means heart
Put it all together and you have damage to the muscle on the front-side wall of the heart.
