“…The association between vitamin D3 deficiency and age appeared to have a statistical significance, the older aged patients lie more in the group of vitamin D3 deficiency than the group of those who have no such deficiency. This significant relation between age and vitamin D3 deficiency was agreed with an Iraqi study (16) .…”

“…In this work, among the enrolled ischemic patients, the vitamin D3 deficiency prevalence was 62% which is relatively high. This finding is approximate to that of a similar Iraqi case-control study carried out in Erbil "at the north" which was 67,6% (16) , also to that of a Jordanian cross-sectional study which was 69.7% (17) , and to that of an Indian cross-sectional study which was 67.5% (8) . Other ischemic patients in our study appeared to have either sufficient levels of vitamin D3 (14%) or insufficient levels (24%).…”

Introduction: Ischemic heart diseases (IHD) are prevalent worldwide and they are considered a rapidly increasing common reason for death. Vitamin D3 plays a role in cardiovascular health and its deficiency is also prevalent. Objectives: To measure the prevalence of vitamin D3 deficiency among Iraqi patients with IHD and to explore any potential relation of this deficiency with other variables. Patients and Methods: Vitamin D3 level was determined among fifty patients with IHD who attended the Iraqi Center for Heart Diseases in Baghdad, to evaluate its role in this group of patients through a cross-sectional study. Results:The mean age of all participants was 55.2 ± 8.9 years, while for those with vitamin D3 deficiency was 57.55 ± 7 years. 66% of the participants were males, 82% were living in urban areas, 58% were smoking, 76% had a family history of IHD, 52% and 62% of them were hypertensive and diabetic sequentially, 58% had a high total cholesterol, 22% had a low HDL, 38% had a high LDL, and 42% had a high TG level. The vitamin D3 mean value for the ischemic participants was 21.8 ng/dl. Among those patients, 14% had sufficient vitamin D3 levels, 24% had insufficient levels, and 62% had a deficiency. Conclusion: The deficiency of vitamin D3 exists in 62% of Iraqi ischemic patients. Vitamin D3 deficiency is associated with an increased prevalence of IHD.

Background: Research reports that serum Vitamin D levels are deficient in AMI patients. Aim: To compare serum Vitamin D levels between AMI patients and healthy controls. Methods: Study design was Cross Sectional Comparative. The study was conducted at Department of Physiology & Cell Biology, University of Health Sciences, Lahore 2018 to 2019. Serum vitamin D levels were measured in 80 study subjects. Among 80 study subjects, 40 had AMI and 40 were healthy controls. Results: The serum Vitamin D levels less than 20ng/ml were considered deficient. Mann Whitney U test was used to compare the groups. The mean serum Vitamin D levels of the AMI patients were significantly lower (7±2.47ng/ml) as compared to healthy controls (17.17±4.8ng/ml) at (p=0.000). Conclusion: AMI patients have significantly lower serum Vit. D levels as compared to healthy individuals. Keywords: Acute myocardial infarction, Serum Vitamin D
