• Introduction - Recently, the prevalence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been increasing in the younger generation. With the advances in the field of medicine, elevated serum levels of various biomarkers like c-reactive protein (CRP), various lipoproteins and homocysteine have been identified to be related to AMI.• Objective - To clinically diagnose acute myocardial infarction in young patients and correlate the levels of serum lipoprotein, serum homocysteine and serum hs-crp and to calculate the level of risk depending on their levels. • Method - A hospital based observational study in which 50 subjects were enrolled in the study as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria.• Results - The results support the current global findings of the younger generation, especially the males, being affected by AMI (Acute Myocardial Infarction). Sedentary lifestyle and BMI >25 can be considered as major risk factors leading to AMI. A considerable proportion of our AMI patients had significantly elevated levels of homocysteine, hs-CRP and lipoprotein A and low levels of HDL-C indicating their correlation with AMI.
