Please help with Abbreviations

Eish, I read through all the posts (to try and see where I can be of any help) but I am getting lost between all these abbreviations.

PSVT (this one I know 'cause I suffer from them:  PARAMOXAL SUPRAVENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA)

and I have figgured out that IMO means "in my opinion"

MI:  Myocardial infarction (heart attack)

and then I am lost...
