Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Age more than equal to 18 to 85 years. 2.Confirmed diagnosis of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) defined by: -ST-segment elevation on ECG in more than equal to 2 contiguous leads (more than equal to 1 mm in limb leads or more than equal to 2 mm in chest leads). -Elevated cardiac biomarkers (Troponin I or T above 99th percentile upper reference limit). 3.Presentation within 24 hours of symptom onset. 4.Availability of baseline serum potassium and magnesium levels measured before any electrolyte correction.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Patients with chronic kidney disease or Patients on Dialysis. 2.Patients with liver cirrhosis or hepatic failure. 3.Patients with significant gastrointestinal losses (vomiting or diarrhea more than 24 hours before admission). 4.Patients on medications known to affect QT interval or cause arrhythmia (eg:antiarrhythmics, macrolides, antipsychotics). 5.Patients with a known history of arrhythmias prior to the current STEMI event. 6.Patients diagnosed with NSTEMI or unstable angina instead of STEMI.
