How do you say heart attack in spanish?

My uncle suffered a heart attack recently, and his son lives in Spain. They were talking on the phone, and I heard him struggling to explain it clearly. What's the correct term for 'heart attack' in Spanish?

Actually yaar, in Spanish they call it 'infarto' or 'ataque al corazón'. If you are looking this up because of some emergency, please don't wait for translation and immediately call the hospital, seriously.

It is 'infarto' or 'ataque al corazón'. Please, if anyone is feeling any chest pressure, pain radiating to the arm, or sudden breathlessness, do not ignore it like I did. I delayed going to the hospital thinking it was just acidity, and it was a massive mistake.

The term is 'ataque al corazón' or 'infarto de miocardio'. When my husband had a cardiac scare, it was the most terrifying day of my life, so I truly understand the panic and worry behind looking up such medical terms.

The translation is 'ataque al corazón'. Once someone recovers from a cardiac event and gets their doctor's clear permission, slowly starting regular daily walks is great for building heart strength again.

In Spanish, it is called 'infarto'. Since I deal with hormonal issues, I am always very cautious about cardiovascular health. Please make sure to consult a cardiologist for any actual medical concerns rather than relying on online information.
