Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;Aim: Our recent studies have shown that to investigate the diagnostic role of vitamin D in myocardial infarction patients. Myocardial infarction is the catastrophic frequently fatal form of ischemic heart disease that results from precipitous reduction or arrest of a significant portion of the coronary flow. Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate. In humans, the most important related compounds of vitamin D are vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. Design/Methods: Acute myocardial infarction was studied in three groups depends on with or without associated complications. Results: In all two groups, mean serum levels of Vitamin D is lower than the mean serum control group. Discussion: The serum levels of Vitamin D were significantly decreased in myocardial infarction patients compared with control normal subjects Conclusions: Vitamin D is an useful index for some critical situations of taking some important decision.</p>
