Answer:
The key difference between angina and a heart attack is that angina is the result of narrowed (rather than blocked) coronary arteries. This is why, unlike a heart attack, angina does not cause permanent heart damage.

Angina is a type of chest pain caused when our heart gets unable to receive proper amount of oxygen simply we can say Angina is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.

Myocardial Infarction is simply called Heart attack.
It is a condition that occurs when blood flow to the heart muscles is abruptly cut off , causing damage or death to a portion of the myocardium (heart muscle).
