Abstract :

 Background: Vit–D deficiency is a common nutritional disorder in north India; we designed a study to find its association in Coronary artery disease. Study design: Case control prospective hospital based study. Aim of the study: To find the association of vitamin D deficiency in patients presenting with acute ST elevation Myocardial infarction and to study risk factor profile in acute ST elevated myocardial infarction in correlation with vitamin D deficiency. Material and methods: A total of 150 subjects were selected, out of them 75 were patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction in against with 75 healthy matched checks. Acute myocardial infarction was diagnosed by standard electrocardiographic, clinical and biochemical criteria. Blood sample from each patient with in 48 hrs of admission was taken to assess vitamin–D levels. Data was compiled and results were analyzed for cases against controls. Results: Vitamin D deficiency was found to have significant association with acute ST elevated Myocardial infarction. Vitamin D deficiency increases with an increasing age. ?e independent risk factors for Myocardial infarction like smoking, hypertension, diabetes, Gender, seasonal variation and obesity showed no significant co–relation with Vitamin D.
