Why the study?
Low 25-OH vitamin D3 is linked to elevated myocardial infarction risk, but clinical data examining the relationship between calcidiol, calcitriol, and left ventricular ejection fraction early after acute coronary syndrome treatment remain limited.
Population
80 patients with MI who underwent primary PCI
Comparison
Serum calcidiol and calcitriol levels across LVEF categories

Low calcitriol may correlate with reduced early LVEF post-MI; leaves open whether repletion improves outcomes.
Low calcitriol and calcidiol serum concentrations are associated with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (<40%) early after myocardial infarction.
