The Relationship Between Serum Zinc Levels, Cardiac Markers and the Risk of Acute Myocardial Infarction by Zinc Quartiles

The present study revealed a relationship between serum zinc levels in that zinc levels were significantly inversely correlated with serum creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase-MB (CKMB) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) levels. Furthermore, we found that the prevalence rate of acute myocardial infarction decreased with increasing zinc quartiles.
