Ischemia is a (deficency) in supplying oxygenated blood to heart cells due to functional constriction or actual obstruction of the vessels.

Constriction can be a spasm, tortuous malformed vessesls, and obstruction can be due to a buildup of plaque or a blood clot.
Myocardial infarction (MI) is an acute obstruction (ie blood clot, etc.) of vessel blood flow to cause cell necrosis (death), but there is a window of opportunity of a few hours to provide oxygen to heart cells that are only stunned and can sometimes be revitalized..
