Abstract
Myocardial infarction is now considered part of a spectrum referred to as acute coronary syndrome. This refers to a spectrum of acute myocardial ischaemia that also includes unstable angina and non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The Materials and Methods in these Study Includes 50 Confirmed cases of acute myocardial infarction along with 50 age and sex matched healthy controls .Blood samples were collected from all participants and analyzed for Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI), CK-MB, Serum sodium, potassium, chloride and urea. Comparison of level of various parameters between two groups was done by calculating p-value. In Results the Serum sodium and potassium level is significant low in AMI patients as compared to control group and blood urea level is found to be high in AMI patients. But, the levels of serum chloride didn’t show any significant difference between case and control groups. In Conclusion the cTnI and CK-MB are the ideal markers for the diagnosis of AMI. Hyponatremia and hypokalemia are indicators of acute myocardial infarction.
