Myocardial infarction (often abbreviated MI) is the medical
terminology for heart attack. An MI occurs when a blood clot
reaches cardiac tissue resulting in death of the affected area.
Normally tests for such a condition would include blood tests (e.g.
troponin T) and ECG. Occaisionally an echocardiogram might be
ordered to establish an ejection fraction.
Myocardial infarction (MI) or acute myocardial infarction (AMI), is
commonly known as a heart attack.
