Think the word you could be looking for is Ischaemic.
I think it's a term thats used which simply means not enough blood is getting to your heart, mostly caused by narrowing of the arteries. What do you mean by you suffered total heart failure? What were your symptons?
Symptoms acute pain pins and needles down full left side of my body sweating sickness unaided defecation death woke up 5 days later not rembering a thing except crawling into hospital on my hands and knees
