Association of Vitamin D Deficiency as an Independent Risk Factor for Myocardial Infarction and Its Therapeutic Implications: A Systematic Review.

Vitamin D deficiency is a highly prevalent condition globally and has emerged as a significant risk factor for the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). Although its role in the regulation of phospho-calcic metabolism is well established, its involvement in the evolution of myocardial infarction (MI) is yet to be fully understood. Vitamin D deficiency is a manageable condition, and a reasonable time to assess and commence treatment is crucial, as the patient presents with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
