Thrombosis: Means presence of a solid mass in a blood vessel causing obstruction. Atheroma (aka :Atherosclerosis): Deposition of lipid containing plaques in the inner most layer of the artery (Special type of thrombosis). Iscehmia can be caused by several causes, most important is thrombosis. Myocardial infarction means ischemia of the myocardial layer of the heart (Muscular layer), which leads to angina, heart failure and can be fatal if not treated promptly and appropriately.<br><b>References : </b><br>Medical Student Terms:
