Abstract
Introduction: Coronary artery disease is one of the most common noncommunicable diseases that affects both men and women worldwide. Chronic inflammation and mineral nutrient deficiency, in addition to diet and sedentary lifestyle, contribute to this disease. The purpose of this study is to look at the relationship between serum ferritin, serum vitamin D levels, and serum lipid profile in patients with Coronary Artery Disease. Methods: The research was carried out at the Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute in Puducherry. A standardised health questionnaire was distributed to study participants, which included 30 patients with Coronary Artery Disease (cases) and 30 healthy controls. It detailed current and previous medication use, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. Subjects were chosen based on their responses to study-related questions. For both cases and controls, means and standard deviations (SD) were computed. To determine the relationship between the parameters, ANOVA and Pearson's correlation were used, and it was used to find the statistical significance and correlation of Serum Ferritin, Serum Vitamin D, and Serum Lipid Profile among both groups. Results: The serum ferritin levels among cases (208.87±143.01 µg/lit) were found to be high when compared to controls (99.52 ± 61.19 µg/lit) with a significant p value of 0.0003. The Serum vitamin D value of cases (21.14 ± 12.9 ng/dl) was low when compared to controls (56.54 ± 18.88 ng/dl) with a significant p value of 0.0000. Serum LDL of cases (129.1 ± 26.91 mg/dl) were found to be higher than controls (105.1 ± 25.43 mg/dl). HDL of cases (33.83±6.82mg/dl) was found to be lower than controls (49.53±6.12 mg/dl). Conclusion: Altered lipid profile with low HDL-C, high LDL-C, and high LDL-C/HDL-C suggested an increased risk for CAD. Low vitamin D levels were also associated with a higher risk for CAD. According to this study, CAD patients had high serum ferritin levels, low serum vitamin D levels, and an altered lipid profile status.
