解説 Herzinfarkt in your Level:

At the A1 level, you don't need to know the complex medical details of a 'Herzinfarkt'. You should recognize it as a very serious health problem related to the 'Herz' (heart). It is important to know that if someone says this word, it is an emergency. You might learn it in the context of 'Körper' (body) and 'Gesundheit' (health). At this stage, just remember: 'Herz' = heart, 'Infarkt' = attack/problem. If you see this word, call 112. You might hear it in very simple sentences like 'Mein Opa ist im Krankenhaus, er hatte einen Herzinfarkt.' Even at this level, knowing the word can be life-saving. You should also know that it is 'der Herzinfarkt'. Simple adjectives like 'schlimm' (bad) or 'gefährlich' (dangerous) are often used with it. You don't need to worry about the grammar of compound words yet, just treat it as one long word that means a heart emergency. In your first German classes, you might talk about your family, and if a relative had this health issue, you would use this word to describe it. It is one of those 'essential' nouns for basic survival and personal history communication. Always remember the 'H' is pronounced clearly, and the 'z' in 'Herz' sounds like a 'ts'. The word is long, but if you break it into 'Herz' and 'Infarkt', it becomes much easier to remember and pronounce.

Herzinfarkt 30秒で

Herzinfarkt is the standard German word for 'heart attack', used in both medical and everyday contexts to describe a life-threatening heart emergency.
It is a masculine noun ('der') and often pairs with verbs like 'erleiden' (suffer), 'bekommen' (get), and 'überleben' (survive).
The word is also used metaphorically to express extreme shock or surprise, similar to the English phrase 'I almost had a heart attack'.
Key compound words include 'Herzinfarktrisiko' (risk) and 'Herzinfarkt-Symptome' (symptoms), which are vital for discussing cardiovascular health in German.

The German word Herzinfarkt is a masculine noun that translates directly to 'heart attack' in English. It is a compound noun formed by 'Herz' (heart) and 'Infarkt' (infarction). In a medical sense, it refers to the death of heart muscle tissue due to a sudden loss of blood supply. While it is a technical medical term, it is the standard word used by laypeople, doctors, and the media alike. You will encounter this word in news reports about public figures, in medical dramas, and in serious conversations about health and lifestyle. Beyond the strictly medical definition, Germans often use the word hyperbolically in everyday speech to describe a state of extreme shock, surprise, or fright. For instance, if someone jumps out from behind a door to scare you, you might exclaim that you 'almost had a heart attack.' This metaphorical usage is very common and mirrors the English use of the phrase. Understanding the gravity of this word is essential, as it is one of the most serious health-related terms in the German language. It carries a weight of urgency and life-threatening danger. In a clinical setting, it is often referred to more specifically as a 'Myokardinfarkt,' but in 99% of daily interactions, 'Herzinfarkt' is the preferred term. It is important to note that the word is always used with the masculine article 'der'. When discussing symptoms, causes, or prevention, this word serves as the central pillar of the conversation. It is not a word used lightly, except in the aforementioned hyperbolic contexts. The pronunciation requires a clear 't' at the end and a strong 'H' at the beginning, following standard German phonetic rules. Because cardiovascular health is a major topic in German society, you will see this word frequently in health magazines, on insurance websites, and in public service announcements encouraging better diet and exercise.

Medical Severity: Indicates a life-threatening blockage of coronary arteries requiring immediate intervention.
Colloquial Hyperbole: Used to express extreme shock or being startled by something unexpected.
Grammatical Gender: Masculine (der Herzinfarkt), which affects the endings of accompanying adjectives and articles.

Der Patient wurde mit Verdacht auf Herzinfarkt ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert.

Erschrick mich nicht so, ich kriege fast einen Herzinfarkt!

Ein gesunder Lebensstil kann das Risiko für einen Herzinfarkt deutlich senken.

Die ersten Minuten nach einem Herzinfarkt sind entscheidend für das Überleben.

Rauchen ist eine der Hauptursachen für den Herzinfarkt.

Using Herzinfarkt correctly involves understanding its grammatical role and the verbs it typically pairs with. Since it is a masculine noun, its article changes based on the case: 'der Herzinfarkt' (nominative), 'den Herzinfarkt' (accusative), 'dem Herzinfarkt' (dative), and 'des Herzinfarkts' (genitive). In a sentence, it often functions as the direct object of verbs like 'erleiden' (to suffer), 'überleben' (to survive), or 'verhindern' (to prevent). For example, 'Er erlitt einen schweren Herzinfarkt' (He suffered a severe heart attack). In casual conversation, you will often hear the verb 'kriegen' or 'bekommen'. For example, 'Mein Opa hat einen Herzinfarkt bekommen' (My grandpa had a heart attack). When describing symptoms or the onset, you might use 'haben' (to have), as in 'Er hat gerade einen Herzinfarkt!' (He is having a heart attack right now!). The word is also frequently used in the plural 'Herzinfarkte', though less commonly than the singular since it usually refers to a specific event. When discussing statistics or medical trends, the plural is appropriate: 'Die Zahl der Herzinfarkte ist gesunken' (The number of heart attacks has decreased). Adjectives are also crucial; you will often see 'schwer' (severe), 'leicht' (mild), 'tödlich' (fatal), or 'stumm' (silent) modifying 'Herzinfarkt'. A 'stummer Herzinfarkt' is particularly dangerous because the patient doesn't realize it is happening. Prepositions like 'vor' (before), 'nach' (after), and 'wegen' (because of) are used to provide temporal or causal context. 'Nach dem Herzinfarkt musste er seine Ernährung umstellen' (After the heart attack, he had to change his diet). Note that in German, we don't say 'machen' (to make) a heart attack; that would be a literal translation error from some other languages. Always stick to 'erleiden', 'haben', or 'bekommen'. Furthermore, the word appears in many compound constructions where it acts as a modifier, such as 'Herzinfarkt-Risiko' (heart attack risk) or 'Herzinfarkt-Prävention' (heart attack prevention). In these cases, the hyphen is often used for clarity, though it can also be written as one word 'Herzinfarktrisiko'.

Common Verbs: erleiden (formal), bekommen (neutral), kriegen (informal), überleben (to survive), verhindern (to prevent).
Case Usage: Accusative: Er hatte einen Herzinfarkt. Genitive: Die Folgen des Herzinfarkts.
Adjective Modifiers: schwer (severe), leicht (mild), drohend (imminent), überlebt (survived).

Woran erkennt man einen drohenden Herzinfarkt?

Er hat den Herzinfarkt zum Glück überlebt.

Die Symptome eines Herzinfarkts bei Frauen sind oft anders als bei Männern.

The word Herzinfarkt is pervasive in various sectors of German life. Primarily, you will hear it in medical contexts—hospitals, doctor's offices, and pharmacies. If you are watching a German TV show like 'In aller Freundschaft' or a crime drama like 'Tatort', medical emergencies involving a 'Herzinfarkt' are a frequent plot device. In the news, health segments often discuss the latest research on 'Herzinfarkt-Risikofaktoren' (risk factors). Furthermore, in the workplace, you might hear it discussed in the context of 'Betriebliches Gesundheitsmanagement' (occupational health management), where companies try to reduce employee stress to prevent such emergencies. Interestingly, you will also hear it in very non-medical environments. At a football match, a fan might say, 'Das Spiel war so spannend, ich hätte fast einen Herzinfarkt bekommen!' (The game was so exciting, I almost had a heart attack!). This illustrates how the word has permeated the emotional vocabulary of Germans. In schools, biology classes cover the circulatory system and the 'Herzinfarkt' as a primary example of cardiovascular disease. If you visit a German 'Kurort' (spa town), you will see many clinics specializing in 'Rehabilitation nach einem Herzinfarkt'. The word is also a staple in insurance documents and health brochures. Because Germany has an aging population, the topic of heart health is constantly in the public eye. Radio talk shows often invite cardiologists to talk about 'Prävention' and how to act in an emergency. You might even hear it in a humorous context in cabaret or comedy, though usually with a dark edge. It is a word that bridges the gap between high-level science and everyday emotional expression, making it a vital part of the German lexicon for anyone living or working in a German-speaking country.

Television and Media: Common in news, medical dramas, and health documentaries.
Sports and Excitement: Used metaphorically to describe high-stress or thrilling moments.
Workplace Health: Discussed in terms of stress management and employee wellness.

Nachrichten: 'Ein neuer Wirkstoff soll das Risiko für einen Herzinfarkt senken.'

Im Stadion: 'Mensch, bei dem Elfmeter krieg ich noch einen Herzinfarkt!'

One of the most common mistakes English speakers make is confusing Herzinfarkt with 'Herzstillstand' (cardiac arrest). While they are related, they are not the same. A 'Herzinfarkt' is a 'plumbing' problem (blocked artery), whereas a 'Herzstillstand' is an 'electrical' problem (the heart stops beating). Using them interchangeably in a medical context can lead to confusion. Another mistake is the gender of the noun. Beginners often use 'die' or 'das' instead of the correct masculine 'der'. This mistake becomes particularly apparent in the accusative case where 'einen Herzinfarkt' is required. Forgetting the 't' at the end of 'Infarkt' is also a common phonetic error; it must be pronounced clearly. Some learners also try to use the English construction 'to have a heart attack' by saying 'einen Herzinfarkt haben' in situations where 'erleiden' or 'bekommen' would be more natural for a native speaker. While 'haben' is not strictly wrong, it can sound slightly 'translated'. Furthermore, there is often confusion between 'Herzinfarkt' and 'Schlaganfall'. Both are infarctions, but 'Schlaganfall' specifically refers to a stroke. In metaphorical use, be careful not to overdo it; saying you have a 'Herzinfarkt' because you lost your keys might sound a bit too dramatic even for German standards. Another subtle error involves the plural. Some learners might say 'Herzinfarkten' in the nominative plural, but the correct plural is 'Herzinfarkte'. The 'n' is only added in the dative plural: 'den Herzinfarkten'. Lastly, pay attention to compound words. Don't say 'Risiko von Herzinfarkt' when 'Herzinfarktrisiko' is the more standard, compact German way to express the concept. German loves compounding, and avoiding it makes your speech sound less authentic.

Herzinfarkt vs. Herzstillstand: Heart attack (blockage) vs. Cardiac arrest (stopping). They are distinct medical events.
Gender Confusion: It is 'der Herzinfarkt', never 'die' or 'das'. This is a frequent source of error for learners.
Literal Translation: Avoid 'einen Herzinfarkt machen'. Use 'erleiden' or 'bekommen'.

While Herzinfarkt is the most common term, there are several related words and synonyms depending on the context. In a strictly medical or academic setting, you will encounter 'Myokardinfarkt'. This is the Latin-derived term used by cardiologists and in formal medical reports. It is more precise but less common in everyday talk. Another word is 'Herzanfall'. This is a slightly more old-fashioned or colloquial way of saying heart attack. It is less clinical than 'Herzinfarkt' and is often used by older generations. Then there is 'Herzattacke', which is a direct loan-translation of the English 'heart attack'. While understandable, it is much less common than 'Herzinfarkt' and can sometimes sound like 'Denglish' (German-English hybrid). For related conditions, 'Angina Pectoris' (Brustenge) is often mentioned; it refers to chest pain that can be a precursor to an infarct but isn't one yet. 'Herzinsuffizienz' (heart failure) is another related term, referring to a chronic weakness of the heart muscle rather than a sudden event. It is also useful to know 'Schlaganfall' (stroke), as it is the other major type of 'infarction' that people worry about. When comparing these, 'Herzinfarkt' is the 'event', 'Herzkrankheit' is the 'disease', and 'Herzstillstand' is the 'result' if not treated. In metaphorical contexts, you might use 'Schock' or 'Schrecken' instead of 'Herzinfarkt' if you want to be less dramatic. For example, 'Du hast mir einen Riesenschrecken eingejagt' (You gave me a huge scare) instead of 'Du hast mir fast einen Herzinfarkt beschert'. Understanding these nuances helps you choose the right word for the right situation, whether you are talking to a doctor, a friend, or reading a newspaper.

Myokardinfarkt: The clinical, medical term. Use this in scientific papers or professional medical discussions.
Herzanfall: A more colloquial, slightly dated term. Often used by older people or in literature.
Herzattacke: An anglicism. Understandable but not the 'true' German term. Best avoided in favor of Herzinfarkt.

Der Arzt sprach von einem Myokardinfarkt, aber der Patient nannte es einen Herzinfarkt.

Herzinfarkt vs Herzanfall

It sounds very similar and means the same thing.

Herzanfall is more colloquial and slightly dated, whereas Herzinfarkt is the standard modern term.

Früher sagte man oft Herzanfall, heute eher Herzinfarkt.

Herzinfarkt vs Herzattacke

It is a literal translation of 'heart attack'.

It is less common and can sound like a translation error from English. Use Herzinfarkt instead.

Herzinfarkt vs Herzinsuffizienz

Both are heart problems.

Herzinsuffizienz is chronic heart failure (weakness), while Herzinfarkt is a sudden, acute event.

Herzinfarkt vs Angina Pectoris

Symptoms are very similar (chest pain).

よくある間違い

Ich habe einen Herzinfarkt gemacht. → Ich hatte einen Herzinfarkt. / Ich erlitt einen Herzinfarkt.
You don't 'make' a heart attack in German. Use 'haben', 'bekommen', or 'erleiden'.
Die Herzinfarkt → Der Herzinfarkt
Herzinfarkt is masculine, not feminine.
Er starb an eine Herzinfarkt. → Er starb an einem Herzinfarkt.
The preposition 'an' in this context requires the dative case.
Herzinfarkt vs. Schlaganfall confusion. → Herzinfarkt (Heart), Schlaganfall (Brain).
Many learners confuse these two because they are both sudden medical emergencies.
Einen Herzinfarkt haben (for shock). → Fast einen Herzinfarkt bekommen.
When using it metaphorically for shock, 'fast... bekommen' or 'gejagt bekommen' is more idiomatic.

ヒント

Remember the gender

Always associate 'Herzinfarkt' with 'der'. Think of a man (masculine) having a heart attack to help you remember the gender.

Learn the verb 'erleiden'

While 'bekommen' works, 'erleiden' is the most professional and common verb used with 'Herzinfarkt' in news and medical contexts.

The sharp 'ts'

Make sure the 'z' in 'Herz' is a crisp 'ts' sound. If you pronounce it like an English 'z', it will be harder for Germans to understand.

Metaphorical use

Don't be afraid to use it when you are shocked! 'Du hast mir einen Herzinfarkt gejagt!' is a great way to sound more like a native speaker.

Know the symptoms

Learning the symptoms in German (Brustschmerzen, Atemnot, Übelkeit) along with the word 'Herzinfarkt' is very useful for B1 level and above.

Compound word spelling

In German, we join the words. It is 'Herzinfarkt', not 'Herz Infarkt'. Joining them correctly is a key part of German spelling.

Health awareness

Mentioning 'Herzinfarkt-Prävention' in a conversation about lifestyle shows you understand both the language and German cultural values regarding health.

Listen for 'Infarkt'

Sometimes in fast speech, 'Herz' is dropped if the context is clear. If you hear 'Infarkt', it almost always refers to the heart unless specified otherwise.

Genitive ending

In formal writing, don't forget the -s for the genitive: 'des Herzinfarkts'. This shows a high level of grammatical proficiency.

Call 112

If you ever have to use this word in a real emergency, stay calm and say: 'Verdacht auf Herzinfarkt, [Address]'.

暗記しよう

記憶術

Think of 'Hearts in fact' (Herz-in-farkt). In fact, his heart stopped! Or think of 'Hurts in fact' because a heart attack hurts.

視覚的連想

Imagine a bright red heart (Herz) with a large, dark 'X' or 'clog' (Infarkt) blocking one of the tubes.

Word Web

チャレンジ

Try to use 'Herzinfarkt' in three different cases (Nominative, Accusative, Dative) in one short paragraph about a hospital visit.

語源

The word is a German compound of 'Herz' and 'Infarkt'. 'Herz' comes from Old High German 'herza', related to the Latin 'cor'. 'Infarkt' comes from the Latin 'infarctus', the past participle of 'infarcire', meaning 'to stuff into' or 'to cram'.

元の意味： The medical term 'infarct' originally referred to the stuffing or clogging of an organ, which leads to tissue death.

Germanic (Herz) and Latin (Infarkt).

文化的な背景

Be careful when using this word around people who may have lost loved ones to heart disease. Use the metaphorical 'hyperbolic' version only in light-hearted contexts.

Similar to English-speaking countries, the heart attack is a leading cause of death and a common trope in media. The metaphorical use is identical.

The 'Tatort' series often features characters having heart attacks as plot points. German singer Herbert Grönemeyer has songs that touch upon the fragility of the heart. Health campaigns by the Deutsche Herzstiftung are iconic in German public spaces.
