A major problem in arrhythmology is supraventricular arrhythmias atrial fibrillation. Remodeling of the myocardium and the formation of fibrosis zones are the cause of cardiac arrhythmias. Violations of the extracellular framework of myocardiocytes with the formation of zones of sclerotically altered areas lead to violations of the pulse from the sinoatrial node. The inflammatory reaction, which results in fibrosis, has been repeatedly confirmed by the results of histological examination of lung vein and myocardial tissue samples in patients with rhythm disorders atrial fibrillation. The paper considers the possibility of determining in the blood of patients with atrial fibrillation a highly sensitive C-reactive protein, widely used in clinical practice, as an indicator of the activity of sluggish inflammation in the myocardium with simultaneous determination of the level of vitamin D (25-OH), known, among other things, for its anti-inflammatory effects. The data of the pilot study are presented.

25 Hydroxycholecalciferol

Background: Burned patients have an increased need for vitamin D supply related to the maintenance of calcium–phosphate homeostasis and the regulation of cell proliferation/differentiation. This study aimed to analyze the concentration of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and its relationship with severe condition after burn injury. Methods: 126 patients were enrolled in the study. Patients were qualified due to thermal burns—over 10% of total body surface area. On the day of admission, the following parameters were assessed: 25-hydroxycholecalciferol concentration, total protein concentration, albumin concentration, aspartate transaminase activity, alanine transaminase activity, albumin concentration, creatinine concentration, c-reactive protein concentration, procalcitonin concentration, and interleukin-6 concentration. Results: Almost all patients (92%) in the study group had an improper level of vitamin D (<30 ng/mL), with the average of 11.6 ± 10.7 ng/mL; 17.5% of patients had levels of vitamin D below the limit of determination—under 3 ng/mL. The study showed that there are several factors which correlated with vitamin D concentration during the acute phase of burn injury, including: total protein (r = 0.42, p < 0.01), albumin, (r = 0.62, p < 0.01), percentage of body burns (r = 0.36, p < 0.05), aspartate aminotransferase (r = 0.21, p < 0.05), and c-reactive protein (r = 0.22, p < 0.05). We did not find any significant correlation between vitamin D concentration and body mass index. Conclusions: The burn injury has an enormous impact on the metabolism and the risk factors of the deficiency for the general population (BMI) have an effect on burned patients. Our study showed that concentration of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol is strongly correlated with serum albumin level, even more than total burn surface area and burn degrees as expected. We suspect that increased supplementation of vitamin D should be based on albumin level and last until albumin levels are balanced.
