Can any doc tell me what's the difference between myocardial infarction and myocardial ischemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Damage done: Myocardia ischemia means heart muscle not getting enough oxygen. Frequently this is angina. When the lack of oxygen is prolonged there is destruction of the muscle: this is a heart attack or myocardial infarction.
