Growing attention has been addressed to the cardiovascular effects of vitamin D, in order to prevent the vascular wall degeneration and the progression of atherosclerosis. Diabetes mellitus is an established risk factor for coronary artery disease, where the enhanced pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic status could render even more important the athero-protective effects of vitamin D. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the impact of diabetes on vitamin D levels and its relationship with the extent of CAD.

Abstract
Growing attention has been addressed to the cardiovascular effects of vitamin D, in order to prevent the vascular wall degeneration and the progression of atherosclerosis. Diabetes mellitus is an established risk factor for coronary artery disease, where the enhanced pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic status could render even more important the athero-protective effects of vitamin D. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the impact of diabetes on vitamin D levels and its relationship with the extent of CAD.File in questo prodotto:
