Introduction: Current scientific evidence suggests a casual association between serum levels 25(OH)-D and an increase in risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Methods: Between 2012 and 2016, we chose at random 226 patients assisted by the cardiology urgent care of Hospital de Clínicas Gaspar Viana Belem, PA-Brazil with clinical presentation, ECG and enzymes of myocardial necrosis compatible with Acute Coronary Syndrome. The patients were submitted to routines tests, including coronary cineangiography and vitamin D dosage. Results: This sample was composed of 163 men (p
