Abstract :

 

 Introduction: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most important consequence of coronary artery disease(CAD) and Magnesium has been implicated in the pathogenesis and complications of AMI.

Smoking (62%) was the most common risk factor andanterior wall MI(38%) was the most common presentation. There was significant association between AMI and hypomagnesemia and also the complications arising out of AMI and hypomagnesemia. Conclusion: In the present study there was statistically significant association of hypomagnesemia with AMI and its complications.
