Abstract
This study evaluated the antioxidant vitamins, inflammatory markers, and marker molecule of oxidative stress in patients with acute myocardial infarction. A total of 90 patients from Federal Medical Centre and Imo Specialist Hospital were used for this study. Results obtained revealed significant reduction in levels of antioxidant vitamins of test subjects when compared to the control subjects. Observed levels of adenosine deaminase and fibrinogen revealed inflammation of myocardial issues that were stressed in test subjects against the control subjects. These observations could be associated markers in patients with acute myocardial infarction. This study has evaluated the antioxidant vitamins in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
