So kids who are perfectly healthy during a sporting event that just keeled over and died on the court/field suffered from a heart attack? No they didn't, they suffered from cardiac arrest where their heart just shut down.

Acute MI causes cardiac arrest, but cardiac arrest could be caused by many things, arrhythmia's, drug use, or unknown causes; sometimes peoples hearts just stop.
