Of these deaths, an estimated 7.3 million were due to coronary heart disease and 6.2 million were due to stroke(2).Aim: To determine mean serum 25 hydroxy vitamin D level and extent and severity of coronary artery disease patients. Material and method:A cross–sectional study and Patients with 50% or more stenosis of at least one coronary artery as a case and without stenosis or less than 50% stenosis in coronary artery on coronary angiography as a control group. Conclusion: Vitamin D insufficiency, in this study was noted in 86.66% of patients in cases as compared to 56.66% of controls, and p value was 0.000387(
