This study sought to assess the association between vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and chest pain, anxiety, and fatigue in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect data from a sample of 90 participants with CAD. Serum 25OHD3 was measured using a radioimmunoassay procedure. Chest pain was assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, anxiety using the Anxiety Subscale, and fatigue by the General Fatigue subscale. The majority of participants (80%) had VDD.

Results showed that the level of vitamin D was significantly negatively associated with

  • chest pain (r = -.43, p = .00);

  • anxiety (r = -.466, p = .00); and

  • fatigue (r = -.25, p = .018).

Findings suggest the role of VDD in heightened central sensitivity in cardiac-related symptoms such as chest pain, anxiety, and fatigue. Patients with CAD should be monitored for VDD so that the condition can be corrected.
