The Association of 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D level with Mean Platelet Volume in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome / Behzad Hajimoradi, Behnaz Hosseini, Toktam Alirezaei, Fatemeh Pourmotahari

Background: A better identification of the role of vitamin D in the thrombotic process of the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) will help increase the therapeutic options for this important clinical condition. There is little published evidence that 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) serum levels can associate with platelet function and risk of thrombosis. Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 200 patients with a diagnosis of ACS, including patients with unstable angina (UA), non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In addition to demographics and angiographic data, serum concentrations of 25(OH)D and MPV were recorded in all patients. Results: The types of ACS were STEMI (35%), NSTEMI (25%), and UA (40%). The concentrations of 25(OH)D in patients with UA, NSTEMI, and STEMI were 23.53 ± 13.26, 19.25 ± 8.09 and 14.60 ± 8.24 ng/mL respectively (P < 0.001), and the values of MPV were 9.83 ± 1.35, 10.30 ± 1.21, and 11.56 ± 1.38 fL, respectively (P < 0.001). There was a negative correlation between 25(OH)D and MPV (R = -0.320, P < 0.0001). ROC analysis illustrated a moderate predictive value (AUC 0.706; 95% CI, 0.63–0.72) in identifying the discrimination threshold of MPV (≥ 9.90 fL) for vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL). Conclusion: The current study shows an inverse association between MPV and vitamin D levels in ACS patients, especially in the subgroup of STEMI. These findings propose the effect of vitamin D on platelet size and function, suggesting its role in thrombosis and hemostasis, which might explain the link between vitamin D deficiency and cardiovascular diseases.
