THE RELATIONSHIP OF VITAMIN D LEVELS WITH EARLY MORTALITY IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME AND VALUE OF VITAMIN D LEVELS AS A CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTOR

Abstract

Objective: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the main cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. This study aims to determine the serum vitamin D level in patients with ACS, determine whether the serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D level is associated with the ACS and to investigate whether serum vitamin D level is effective on early (first 30 days after diagnosis) mortality in patients with ACS, or not.
