Correlation between vitamin D status and Serum lipid profile parameters in CAD Patients Attending a Tertiary Hospital
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease(CVD) is consists of variety of heart disease, illnesses and events that impact the heart & circulatory system, including high blood pressure & coronary artery disease. Our aim was to the study serum vitamin D levels in patients with proven CAD attending cardiology clinic of SAIMS hospital and to compare it with control subjects and it’s out come. Our study add input to previous existing evidence suggesting that low vitamin D levels may be an independent, potentially modifiable cardiovascular risk factor. We observed that high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in cases with angiographically documented CAD. Thus we can conclude that serum Vitamin D estimation may be considered as an important surrogate marker for screening and prevention of CAD to improve the outcome which needs further exploration.
