Myocardial infarction → Heart attack – Heart attack is clearly the more common and widely used name for this, and clearly falls under WP:COMMONNAME, which is why I’m requesting this move. WoodyAllenGuy (talk) 07:04, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We typically use the more precise or technical name for medical stuff. The term "heart attack" is also used to mean cardiac arrest which is completely different. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 08:52, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Doc James. The term "heart attack" is also used in popular media to mean cardiac arrest. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:06, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. There is a huge difference between a common name and colloquial language. Myocardial infarctions are colloquially referred to as heart attacks. But the actual, precise common name is myocardial infarction. --87.78.139.251 (talk) 17:46, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Based on correct naming for medical-related articles. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 10:21, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Heart attack redirects here, so there is no ambiguity with cardiac arrest. Given that, we should use the most common name, "heart attack", which is used in all but the most technical literature. Powers ^T 15:46, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The ambiguity mentioned above stems from outside of Wikipedia and can't be resolved by how we arrange and disambiguate between topics. The term "heart attack" can in real life refer to either a myocardial infarction or to cardiac arrest. --87.79.231.4 (talk) 22:26, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
