A Study of Vitamin D Deficiency Prevalence in Patients of Acute Myocardial Infarction A Study from Central India
Keywords:
Acute MI, Coronary Artery Disease, Vitamin D deficiency.Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent worldwide and is also noted to be high in India [1-3]. Low levels of 25(OH)D the principle circulating storage form of vitamin D is present in as many as one third to one half of otherwise healthy middle aged to elderly population. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted at Chirayu Medical College and Hospital Bhopal for the period of 2 year from September1, 2013 to August 31, 2015. Information of the patients admitted for Acute Myocardial Infarction in the ICCU was collected through chart abstraction, detailed patient interviews, and serum samples. All the participants will be provided written informed consent. Results: In our study, out of total 100 subjects 66 (66%) were males and 34 (34%) were females. Mean age was 51.72 years with a range of 27 – 73 years. Vitamin D deficiency was found in 24(36%) of male subjects, whereas 10(29.4%) of the female subjects were deficient in vitamin D. Conclusion: In conclusion, our study shows a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among patients of acute MI. Severe vitamin D deficiency was associated with risk of acute MI even after adjusting for conventional risk factors. Awareness of high deficiency of vitamin D must be created and people should be educated through campaigns and IEC (Intervention Education and Communication) activities.
