Hey,
I just wondered, what is the actual difference between a myocardial infarction and angina? I know an MI is where not enough oxygen is getting to the muscles of the heart, but what exactly is angina?

Thanks. x

Angina is not a disease, it is a symptom.

Myocardial infarction is a disorder.

A bit of meat on the bone:

Angina is where there is impaired oxygenation of the heart muscle, usually due to coronary artery disease.

Myocadial infarction is where, due to a complete blockage of a coronary artery. heart muscle DIES.
