What Does MI Stand For?

MI stands for Myocardial Infarction

Myocardial Infarction (MI) refers to a medical condition commonly known as a heart attack. It occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, usually by a blood clot or the buildup of fatty deposits in the coronary arteries. This interruption in blood supply can damage or destroy heart muscle tissue. Symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, and nausea. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to minimize heart damage and improve outcomes.
