ABSTRACT

In this study, we aimed to find out correlation of vitamin D level with acute coronary syndrome and mortality Coronary artery disease and cardiovascular death is associated with Vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with endothelial dysfunction which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease. In this study, it is aimed to assess serum 25 (OH) vitamin D and its correlation with acute coronary syndrome and analyse the vitamin D status of the study population. Serum 25 (OH) vitamin D levels were measured in 400 cases of acute coronary syndrome and 400 matched controls. The association of vitamin D deficiency with other parameters such as age, gender, body mass index, lipid profile etc were also analysed. There were 64% of the ACS cases deficient in Vitamin D Vitamin D deficiency may be an independent and potentially modifiable cardiovascular risk factor that can be easily diagnosed and corrected.
