• Background: Now-a-days, myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most prevalent disorders. Lack of blood supply causes MI/heart attacks. Ischemia or a lack of oxygen causes heart tissue damage and is ultimately fatal. Several studies demonstrated the association of magnesium deficiency with MI. Aim and Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the levels of serum magnesium in MI patients and to compare them with normal healthy individuals. Materials and Methods: The present study assessed magnesium levels in 50 MI and another 50 without MI, healthy participants serve as a control. All the study participants were recruited from Government Medical College, Amritsar. Results: In normal individuals (n = 50), the Mean ± standard deviation (SD) of serum magnesium was 1.994 ± 0.28 mg/dl and SE. of 0.04, while in MI patients Mean ± SD was 1.13 ± 0.49 mg/dl and SE of 0.07. The mean of magnesium was significant (t = 10.8, P < 0.001) high in MI patients as compared to the control. Conclusion: Thus, it concludes that magnesium can be used as a diagnostic investigation tool for assessing patients suffering from MI.
