In the current study, we investigated the correlation between serum s-adenosylhomocysteine as a new marker for myocardial infarction severity with homocysteine, troponin, vitamin B6 and B 12 on 90 acute myocardial infarction patients and 120 normal persons as control.The data of all patients and controls were measured by using the ELISA technique except troponin was measured by using the VIDIS technique, while the data were analyzed by SPSS software. The results of this study show a significant increase in s-adenosylhomocysteine, troponin, homocysteine, while vitamin B6 and B12 were decreased significantly.The correlation study proved that s-adenosylhomocysteine as a golden marker for AMI patient for male and female-specific with SEAMI while troponin with high correlation in NSEMI.
