Essentially, there is no difference. Some prefer to use the term non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) compared with free fatty acid (FFA) because many find the term FFA confusing with respect to fatty acids that circulate within the bloodstream which are 'bound' to albumin, but not esterified to another chemical moiety compared with intracellular fatty acids that are not 'bound' to albumin which are also not esterified to another chemical moiety.

How does Trans Fatty Acid influence Heart Disease?
Yes, and is actually worse than the sys form of fatty acids. The only difference between sys and trans fatty acids are the angles of the molecules. In nature, only sys fatty acids are made, but through chemistry (or through over heating oils), we are able to make trans fatty acids. The problem is that your body can only recognize the sys form. So if you have sys fatty acids in your body, your body knows how to remove them, but if you have trans fatty acids in your body, your body doesn't know how to remove them. As a result the trans fatty acids build up in your system and can cause heart disease. Sys fatty acids can cause heart disease also, but since your body is constantly removing them, it forms slower than the trans form.
