What is the full meaning of the acronym 'MI'?

Myocardial infarction
Minimal invasion
Micro Instrument
Mental illness

The correct answer is: Myocardial infarction

MI stands for Myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack. This occurs when the blood flow to the heart is blocked, resulting in heart damage. The options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not pertain to heart health. Minimal invasion refers to a surgical technique, micro instrument could be interpreted as a small tool for various procedures, and mental illness is a broad term for various psychological disorders. Therefore, they are not correct answers for the meaning of the acronym 'MI.'
