Background: Cigarette smoking is a significant modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular illness, including coronary corridor illness, stroke, fringe vascular infection, and congestive cardiovascular breakdown. The aim of this study is to assessment of some trace elements such as Cu, Zn, Mo, Fe, Co, Mg, and Cr and lipids profile in Acute myocardial infarction of prolonged smoker subjects Methods: 60 subjects divided into two groups smoker AMI (SAMI) (40 patients) and control (CNT) (20 subjects). Serum Fe, Zn, and Mg were measured by colorimetric method. AAS technique the samples were used to estimation of Serum Cu, Co, Cr, and Mo levels in the samples. Results: Serum levels of all heavy and trace elements such as Fe, Zn, Mg , Cu, Co, Cr, and Mo levels were found significant differences between SAMI and CNT groups (P-value < 0.05). Conclusion: Smoking status of AMI patients may be the main cause and risk factors to differences of heavy and trace elements and not because only incidence of AMI.
