A STUDY ON SIGNIFICANCE OF CARDIAC ENZYMES AND SERUM ADENOSINE DEAMINASE LEVELS IN MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

Abstract

Background: Myocardial Infarction (MI) signifies the culmination of the acute coronary 
syndrome continuum, characterized by irreversible ischemic injury that results in cellular death 
and necrosis. The majority of MI cases are attributed to coronary atherosclerosis, which 
contains macrophages and activated T-cells that release cytokines. Previous studies have 
indicated the involvement of an immunological component in the development of 
atherosclerotic lesions associated with coronary heart disease. This study aims to assess the 
activity level of adenosine deaminase (ADA), a recognized non-specific marker of T 
lymphocyte activation, alongside Troponin-I and cardiac enzymes in patients diagnosed with 
Myocardial Infarction (MI).
