The aim of this study was to investigate the long term prognostic value of admission vitamin D level in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). <o:p> </o:p> </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="EN-US">Methods: One hundred fifty seven consecutive patients, who were admitted to a training and research hospital with a diagnosis of STEMI and underwent PPCI, were recruited in this prospective study. The study patients were divided into 2 groups according to their vitamin-D levels as follows: High vitamin-D group (n=80) and Low vitamin-D group (n=77). The severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) was assessed with calculation of the SYNTAX score. <o:p> </o:p> </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="EN-US">Results: There were significant negative correlations between Vitamin-D level and SYNTAX score, serum glucose, and gender, but a positive correlation with hemoglobin level. Cardiovascular mortality was found to be significantly higher in the low vitamin-D group as compared to the high group (p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, low vitamin-D level was found as a significant independent predictor of long term cardiovascular mortality after adjusting for other risk factors. <o:p> </o:p> </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="EN-US">Conclusion: We demonstrated that low admission vitamin-D is related to severity of CAD. Vitamin-D deficiency is an independent predictor for long term cardiovascular mortality in acute STEMI undergoing PPCI. </span> </p>}, number={4}, publisher={Dicle University}
