Article Synopsis
- Vitamin D deficiency is linked to poor cardiovascular health and impaired diastolic function, especially in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
- A study involving 117 ACS patients used echocardiography to measure diastolic function and found that lower vitamin D levels correlated with worse diastolic metrics.
- Results indicated that low vitamin D was a significant predictor and independent risk factor for diastolic dysfunction in these patients, even with preserved left ventricular systolic function.
To appraise the prediction of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)/systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) with regard to hospitalization and the effect of spironolactone use. A total of 245 patients were evaluated for the study. Patients were followed for 1 year and cardiovascular outcomes were determined.

In this study, the importance of prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in terms of in-hospital mortality in patients with NSTE-ACS and its relationship with the Global Record of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score were investigated.Material and methods A total of 498 consecutive NSTE-ACS patients were recorded retrospectively.
