hello.
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
basically heart attack and Myocardial infarction are synonymus .It is a condition where there is total blockage of one of the three coroniaries supplying blood to heart.There is total cut off of blood supply to particular segment of myocardium which results into necrosis that is death of tissue.
Congestive cardiac failure is term to denote failing function of ventricles.
mainly when right ventricle fails and it produces odema,ascites,neck vein engorgement and hepatomagaly.This is known as CCF.
My best wishes
