The following is according to "The Illustrated Family Doctor" (1935)

Myocardium is the wall of the heart. Ischaemia is a lack of blood. It
is due to interference with the flow of blood through an artery, and
if severe can cause death of the tissue affected.

Thrombosis
is the clotting of blood in the heart or a blood vessel. Thrombosis
tends to occur in diseased

Arterio-sclerosis is hardening of the arteries

Neteriuie is not listed

Jaundice is when th eskin and the whites of the eyes are yellow.
