and thirty healthy individuals to evaluate the level of Malondialdehyde (MDA) in myocardial infraction
patients and healthy controls. All patients were aged between (40-80) years, with a negative family history

displayed that the highest mean of MDA was recorded in MI (104.7±13.0 ng/ml) as compared with the
control group (66.7± 22.7 ng/ml), The result was significant (P: < 0.05). The study concluded that, The
study displayed that the MDA levels were elevated significantly in patients group as compared with the
