Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Although vitamin D has a major role at the skeletal mineralization, it has been implicated at cardio vascular system, owing to abundance of its receptor there. Atherosclerosis is the most presenting symptom of the cardio-vascular system that warrants the urge to detect the effect of vitamin D serum level changes in progression of the atherosclerosis. Objective is to assess the correlation between vitamin D level and coronary artery findings using MDCT. Methods: Two hundred and Fifty patients were included in our study, all of them underwent MDCT for coronary artery angiography, and then the findings were compared with vitamin D serum levels. Results: 4 % of all examined patients (n=10) had vitamin D deficiency, 44 % (n=110) had insufficient levels of vitamin D, 52 % have sufficient vitamin D level (n=130). There is significant positive correlation between Lab. vitamin D levels and coronary artery calcium score (CACS) with P<0.005. Conclusions: Vitamin D levels play significant role in modifying the risk of coronary artery involvement.
