Background: Vitamin D receptors are present in many tissues throughout the body, including vascular smooth muscle, endothelium, and cardiomyocytes. Therefore, vitamin D deficiency may adversely affect the cardiovascular system. We aimed to measure the prevalence of vitamin D3 deficiency among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to determine the relationship between this deficiency and other risk factors. Methods: Serum vitamin D3 levels were measured in 200 patients with ACS, and its role in this patient group was evaluated through a cross-sectional study. Results: The mean age of all patients was 53.4 ± 9.6 years, and the mean age of those with vitamin D3 deficiency was also 53.4 ± 9.6 years. Among the patients, 56% were male, 59.5% were smokers, 67.5% were hypertensive, 57.5% were diabetic, 50% had high total cholesterol, 57.5% had low HDL levels, 60% had high LDL levels, and 70.5% had high triglyceride levels. The mean vitamin D3 level for all patients was 20.8 ± 9.5 ng/dL. Among these patients, 10% had sufficient vitamin D3 levels, 22% had insufficient levels, and 68% were deficient. Conclusions: Vitamin D3 deficiency was present in 68% of patients with ACS, indicating its prevalence in this patient population. Age, hypertension, and high triglyceride levels were statistically associated with vitamin D3 deficiency (OR 0.543, OR 0.582, and OR 0.618, respectively; P = 0.001, P = 0.001, and P = 0.001, respectively).
