ABSTRACT

Introduction: Several studies have associated a link between Vitamin D deficiency and acute coronary syndrome. There is an on going controversy on this association. In this research article, we tried to find a co-relation between Vitamin D deficiency and acute coronary syndrome in Indian population. Methods: In this study, 200 established cases of acute coronary syndrome were taken and Vitamin D3 levels were tested in these patients from a period of January 2019 to Sep 2019. Results: The odds ratio of being affected by coronary artery disease in individuals with Vitamin D was 3.12(1.89-5.84) after adjustment of most of the cardiovascular risk factors i.e. hypertension, diabetes, smoking, BMI, high cholesterol when compared to the control group. Conclusion: Low levels of Vitamin D are associated with increased prevalence of acute coronary disease independent of other cardiovascular risk factors. Further investigations needs to be done to see whether supplementation of Vitamin D reduces the development of atherosclerosis or not.
