Lower vitamin D levels and higher fibrinogen levels significantly correlate with STEMI severity, underscoring their roles in acute coronary syndrome.
The vitamin D/fibrinogen ratio provides a stronger correlation with ACS severity than vitamin D alone, suggesting its potential as a biomarker.
Logistic regression indicates a 1 nmol/L increase in vitamin D reduces ACS severity by 7.1%, highlighting its protective role in heart conditions.
Further validation in larger studies is needed to confirm the superiority of the vitamin D/fibrinogen ratio for assessing ACS risk.
