Parameters included were Zinc, Calcium and Magnesium.Results: Significantly low levels of Zn (69.41 12.18g/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.
