Early treatment of Myocardial Infarction patients with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist with help reduces the incidence of cardiac remodeling and development into heart failure. Also studying aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) and mineralocorticoid receptor (NR3C2) gene polymorphisms in Egyptian Myocardial Infarction patients will help tailor medication therapy and optimize therapeutic effects with the least adverse effects.

RECRUITINGGenetic polymorphism
To investigate impact of genetic polymorphism in aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2), mineralocorticoid receptor (NR3C2) on pharmacological effect of MRAs in patients with STEMI through measurement of biochemical serum markers such as serum aldosterone, oxidative stress markers and cardiac remodeling markers.
Time frame: 3 months
Gene Interaction
To investigate the potential interaction between these target gene polymorphisms and the overall patients' clinical outcome in response to treatment with Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs).
Time frame: 3 months
Gene incidence
To detect the incidence of aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) and mineralocorticoid receptor (NR3C2) gene polymorphisms in Egyptian patients with ST- segment elevation (STEMI).
Time frame: 3 months
