Aim: The goal of this study was to determine, for the first time in an east European country, the relationship of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) serum concentration with extent of coronary artery disease and prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) during a three-year follow up period. 1-3PAtients And methods: The study included 60 ACS patients hospitalized at cardiology department for ACS between March 2012 and September 2012; and 60 matched controls without ACS. Standard laboratory testing and vitamin D determination were performed in all study patients. In addition, ACS patients underwent coronary angiography and were followed-up for 36 months of ACS for major adverse cardiac events (MACE). ConClusion: There is an association between low serum concentration of 25(OH)D and ACS. Vitamin D level is considerably influenced by diabetes comorbidity. There was no significant association between 25(OH)D and MACE at 36 months in ACS patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
