Aim. To assess vitamin D level in patients with acute coronary syndrome and to determine the relationships of vitamin D level with specific patterns of cardiovascular disease in this group of patients. Methods. 50 patients (35 (70%) males and 15 (30%) females) urgently admitted to the emergency cardiology department of Kaliningrad Regional Hospital were enrolled in the cross-sectional observational study. Patients with diabetes mellitus, autoimmune diseases and cancer were excluded from the study. The mean age of patients was 60 (55; 66) years. Cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, smoking, physical activity, alcohol consumption, genetic predisposition) were assessed in all patients. Total serum cholesterol levels, GFR (CKD-EPI) and troponin levels were measured in all participants. Echocardiography included the measurement of the left ventricular mass index. Coronary angiography with omnipaque contrast was performed in all cases. 25-OH vitamin D was measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results. The majority of patients with acute coronary syndrome had vitamin D deficiency. 3 (6%) patients had severe vitamin D deficiency. The subgroup of patients with marked vitamin D deficiency (n = 39) more often had elevated blood pressure probably related to the left ventricular hypertrophy and left atrial enlargement. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction and occlusive coronary artery disease were more common in patients with lower vitamin D levels. Statistically significant correlations had not been found between vitamin D levels and cardiovascular risk factors as well as laboratory data. Conclusion. Vitamin D level below normal range was detected in the vast majority of patients with acute coronary syndrome, of them 6 % of patients had critically low vitamin D levels.
