Answer:

(MI) Myocardial Infarction

Explanation:

Myocardial infarction (MI, heart attack) is produced when the velocity of blood flow decreases in the heart, which can lead to injury of the heart muscle. The symptoms of a heart attack include pressure, tightness or pain in the chest, shortness of breath, anxiety, nausea and vomiting. MI can be prevented by healthy life habits such as plenty of sleep, healthy food habits, and regular exercise. A heart attack should be treated immediately by angioplasty, which is a medical procedure to unblock the arteries that transport blood to the heart.
