Vitamin D Plasma Levels and In-Hospital and 1-Year Outcomes in Acute Coronary Syndromes A Prospective Study

摘要

Deficiency in 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH] D), the main circulating form of vitamin D in blood, could be involved in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). To date, however, the possible prognostic relevance of 25 (OH) D deficiency in ACS patients remains poorly defined. The purpose of this prospective study was to assess the association between 25 (OH) D levels, at hospital admission, with in-hospital and 1-year morbidity and mortality in an unselected cohort of ACS patients.
