Key result
Serum vitamin D levels show no association with incident or recurrent coronary artery stenosis.
Why the study?
There are discrepancies among studies regarding the association between vitamin D levels and ischemic heart disease and coronary artery stenosis.
Is there an association between serum vitamin D levels and the incidence or progression of coronary artery stenosis in patients undergoing coronary catheterization?
Population
186 Jordanian patients undergoing investigative coronary catheterization
Comparison
Serum vitamin D levels in patients with and without coronary artery stenosis
Design
Observational study using radioimmunoassay and statistical association analysis

Does not support vitamin D testing for stenosis risk; leaves open causal role in prospective cohorts.
Observational (n=186)
Is there an association between serum vitamin D levels and the incidence or progression of coronary artery stenosis in patients undergoing coronary catheterization?
Serum vitamin D levels were not associated with the incidence or recurrence of coronary artery stenosis in a Jordanian cohort undergoing coronary catheterization.
Jarrah et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Coronary artery stenosis and ischemic heart disease (n=186). Serum vitamin D levels was evaluated on Incidence or reoccurrence of coronary artery stenosis. Serum vitamin D abnormalities showed no significant association with the incidence or reoccurrence of coronary artery stenosis among 186 patients undergoing coronary catheterization.
