massive heart attack
The term infarction is OK, but if the translation is for US, it is called "heart attack" by preference.

Yes, but look up here: HEART ATTACK. (also known as "MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION"). ... The proper use of the non-medical term "heart attack" is "Myocardial Infarction". Either term is scary. ...

massive myocardial infarct
Again technically the other terms are not wrong. However in the hospital setting we do not regularly use the terms "extensive infarction" or "infarctus" prefering massive infarct or infarction. massive heart attack is okay translating for a lay audience.
