Italian word

cardiaco

cardiac, heart-related

Looks like

cardiac

same

⚠️ The trap

Same meaning, but the trap: 'arresto cardiaco' = cardiac arrest. 'Infarto' (not 'attacco cardiaco') is the more common Italian word for a heart attack. 'Attacco di cuore' also exists but sounds less clinical.

To say "same" in Italian:

cardiaco (correct)

"cardiaco" in English means:

cardiac, heart-related

Example

"Ha avuto un arresto cardiaco improvviso."

"He had a sudden cardiac arrest."
