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.
