The correlation of cardiovascular risk factors and angiographic findings with serum vitamin D levels in patients undergoing coronary angiography

Abstract

INTRODUCTIONVDD is now a pandemic cutting across age groups, ruralurban divide and developing or developed countries. . Vit-D level <20ng/ml i.e. Vit-D deficiency (VDD) in 68, 20-30ng/ml i.e. Vit-D insufficiency (VDI) in 22 and >30ng/ml (normal) in 10. VDD was profound in 51-60 and 61-70 years age groups. Statistical correlation of VDD was not significant with conventional risk factors, but statistically significant correlation of VDD was observed with dyslipidemia and CAG findings in our study. Conclusions: Like earlier studies we observed significant correlation of Vit-D levels with CAD. Though dyslipidemia was significantly correlated with VDD, correlation of other conventional risk factors like age, sex, HTN, DM, smoking and family history was not found. We conclude from this study presence of significant association of VDD with severe CAD. DVD and TVD by CAG were common with low Vit-D levels.

The Association Between Vitamin D Deficiency and Angiographic Results in Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Increased Urinary Albumin Excretion Ratio

“…Several other studies detected an inverse signi cant correlation between vitamin D level and Gensini score [34]. A study by Tripathy et al showed that reducing serum vitamin D levels will increase the number of patients with single, two, and three-vessel coronary artery disease [35]. It might be attributed to the protective role of 25-OH vitamin D, the active form of vitamin D, which regulates calcium metabolism and effectively maintains the regular role of cardiovascular systems and vascular health [7,36].…”
