Aim. To assess vitamin D level in patients with acute coronary syndrome and to determine the relationships of vitamin D level with specific patterns of cardiovascular disease in this group of patients.Methods. 50 patients (35 (70%) males and 15 (30%) females) urgently admitted to the emergency cardiology department of Kaliningrad Regional Hospital were enrolled in the cross-sectional observational study. Patients with diabetes mellitus, autoimmune diseases and cancer were excluded from the study. The mean age of patients was 60 (55; 66) years. Cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, smoking, physical activity, alcohol consumption, genetic predisposition) were assessed in all patients. Total serum cholesterol levels, GFR (CKD-EPI) and troponin levels were measured in all participants. Echocardiography included the measurement of the left ventricular mass index. Coronary angiography with omnipaque contrast was performed in all cases. 25-OH vitamin D was measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results. The majority of patients with acute coronary syndrome had vitamin D deficiency. 3 (6%) patients had severe vitamin D deficiency. The subgroup of patients with marked vitamin D deficiency (n = 39) more often had elevated blood pressure probably related to the left ventricular hypertrophy and left atrial enlargement. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction and occlusive coronary artery disease were more common in patients with lower vitamin D levels. Statistically significant correlations had not been found between vitamin D levels and cardiovascular risk factors as well as laboratory data.Conclusion. Vitamin D level below normal range was detected in the vast majority of patients with acute coronary syndrome, of them 6 % of patients had critically low vitamin D levels.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relation between vitamin D plasma concentrations and prevalence of prespecified coronary risk factors, and to assess the role of vitamin D deficiency as an independent risk factor for the acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods: In this study, plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels were measured in 60 consecutive ACS patients at hospital presentation, and patient data including socio-demographics and clinical variables were recorded at the time of admission. We used the Independent samples T-test and the chi-square test to compare differences in the continuous and categorical variables, respectively. The partial correlation coefficient was used to measure association between plasma vitamin D levels and acute coronary syndrome while controlling for traditional cardiovascular risk factors.Results: This study found significant associations between low plasma vitamin D levels and prevalence of hypertension and smoking. Whereas, no significant association between low plasma vitamin D levels and prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) was found. There was a statistically significant correlation between vitamin D deficiency and acute coronary syndrome, even after controlling for traditional cardiovascular risk factors (P = 0.028).Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency is independently associated with acute coronary syndromes, and could be an independent risk factor for the acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Background: Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin has its receptor present in myriad of tissues and it modulates multiple cellular processes. Vitamin D deficiency is reported to be associated with coronary artery disease. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Aims and Objective: The primary outcome was to investigate if there is a correlation of 25-OH levels with the percentage of luminal stenosis, as measured with coronary angiogram. The secondary outcome was to determine the differences in angiographically proven luminal stenosis across categories of 25-OH vitamin D levels. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with acute coronary syndrome with diabetes mellitus were included in this cross-sectional descriptive study. All patients were tested for fasting vitamin D levels, fasting blood sugar, HbA1C and serum creatinine. Detailed history of the patients was recorded. Data was analyzed by the statistical software SPSS version 19 and p value <0.05 was considered significant. Statistical tests like Chi- square, independent t test and log regression was used. Results: In this study 30 patients undergoing coronary angiography for acute coronary syndrome, Vitamin D levels showed severe deficiency in 6.7% (2) cases while mild deficiency was seen in 50% of the cases. Patients with single vessel disease on the coronary angiogram had lower mean HbA1C (9.18) levels in our study. Patients with triple vessel disease had poorly controlled mean HbA1C levels (10.42). Conclusion: In this study we did not find any significant difference between the serum Vitamin D deficiency levels with patients with angiographic severity of the coronary artery disease. Patients with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus had more severe angiographic proven coronary artery disease.

The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in patients with acute coronary syndrome in comparison with normal individuals and study the correlation between these two conditions. We measured the plasma 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OH-D) levels in 60 patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) of both gender and in 30 age matched control individuals of both gender without any known cardiovascular or systemic diseases. The levels of 25-OH-D were measured by ELISA method and the results were statically analyzed to find out any possible correlation. We classified the cases according to their plasma 25(OH)D levels. 25(OH)D levels of ≥ 30 ng/ml were considered normal, levels < 30 and > 20 ng/ml were classified as insufficient, while levels of ≤ 20 ng/ml were classified as deficient. In the current study the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in the patients group was much higher than it was in the control group. Vitamin D deficiency was observed in 80% and insufficiency in 13% of total patients of ACS, there by bringing the total count to 93%. Whereas only 7% of the patients had adequate vitamin D levels. Thus, these results indicate the existence of a significant correlation between the vitamin D deficiency and ACS in comparison to healthy controls
