Abstract :

Background: Myocardial infarction is the most dreadful complication of coronary artery disease, accounting for 20–25% of death in developed countries. Aim & Objective–: To determine the levels of Zn, Ca and Mg and evaluate their relation in patients with myocardial infarction. Methods: A prospective cross sectional observational study done in biochemistry department of Geetanjali medical college and hospital Udaipur, Rajasthan from October 2016 to march 2017.This study involves 100 subjects, including age and sex matched control. Parameters included were Zinc, Calcium and Magnesium. Results: Significantly low levels of Zn (69.41 ± 12.18µg/dl) and Mg (1.77 ± 0.35 mg/dl) with high levels of Ca (12.96 ± 1.34 mg/dl) were detected in MI patients as compared to normal controls. Conclusion: Early intervention in correcting the levels of Zn, Mg and Ca within normal range can improve the prognosis of MI patients
