Medical: Cardiology
Court case to apportion liabilities following a house fire.
"Monsieur AAA ne rapporte pas la preuve du lien de causalité entre l'incendie dont il a été victime et l'arrêt maladie de plus de deux ans.
Toutefois, il convient de noter que l'arrêt de travail a débuté le 17 juin 2016, soit le lendemain de l'incendie.
Lors de l'incendie, il a subi un malaise cardio-respiratoire.
De la sorte, il n'est pas illégitime de faire le lien entre les premières semaines de l'arrêt maladie et l'incendie."
Medical isn't my strong point. Cardio-respiratoire would appear to be "cardiopulmonary", but the whole expression gets, sadly, null points when I gsearch.
I apologise because it's such a simple expression. However, it seems to me that malaise could be a "nasty turn" or an "attack" or somewhere in between. In a legal/insurance context such niceties do in fact matter.

: I don't think you can say 'disease' for 'malaise', though. I'd go for 'cardiorespiratory problem/condition'.

: The "disagree" seems harsh but as "condition" describes a state, it is inaccurate here for "malaise", a term for a one-off event or incident. There may be an underlying condition giving rise to the "malaise", but that is not what the French describes.

: Sorry for the harshness of a "disagree" but a condition is not accurate for "malaise". A "malaise" may result from an underlying condition but the French is about an incident or an event, not any underlying condition.

cardio-respiratory distress
Since we're not talking about a specific medical term, I would go with "distress".
Note from asker:
| I rather like this... not least since it could cover quite a broad range of things... which I'm beginning to think can also be said of the French expression... |

A French-German web dictionary simply gives "Herzbeschwerden" (cardiac symptoms, (subjective) troubles) for "malaise cardiaque".

Discussion
Liz's first source says that "malaise cardiaque" refers to the outward signs of someone having an actual heart attack.
"Malaise cardiorespiratoire" may not be a precise medical term, but the instances I can find online appear in connection with quite severe incidents, so I have the feeling that the import of "malaise" here is that it was pretty bad.
A heart attack is not the same thing as cardiac arrest, so I might have been wide of the mark with my earlier suggestion. That said, it still sounds quite grim and I would be inclined to go with "attack".
Another thought: perhaps "symptoms of a .... attack".
