Overview Cardiovascular and vitamin D

Did you know? (from Vitamin D Life)

Many studies show that cardiovascular problems are treated & prevented by Vitamin D
  As with many other health problems:
  More Vitamin D is needed to treat than to prevent
  Omega-3, Magnesium, and Vitamin K2 also probably also help
      (More Cardiovascular info below this box)
Learn how Vitamin D is essential for good health
  Watch a 5 minute video "Does Less Sun Mean more Disease?"
  Browse for other Health Problems and D in left column or here
  see also Supplementing and More in the menu at the top of every page
If you have a disease associated with low Vit D take Vit D
Raising your Vit D levels will substantially prevent other low-Vit D health problems
Often your specific health problem will also be treated

Random controlled trial found NO HEART FAILURE BENEFIT with 50,000 IU weekly - Feb 2013 - strange

A randomized controlled trial of high dose vitamin D3 in patients with heart failure.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Vitamin D3 on physical performance in patients with HF.

BACKGROUND: HF is associated with functional decline and frailty. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with loss of muscle strength and poor outcomes in patients with HF.

METHODS: Sixty-four patients participated in a 6-month parallel design double blind RCT to test the hypothesis that oral vitamin D3 would improve physical performance. Vitamin D3 50,000 IU or placebo was given weekly; all received daily calcium. Patients were included regardless of EF and 25OHD ≤ 37.5 ng/ml. The primary outcome was peak VO2, and secondary outcomes were the 6MW, TGUG and knee isokinetic muscle strength. Between group comparisons were made using ANCOVA models that adjust for baseline measures.

RESULTS: Patients were age 65.9 ± 10.4 years old, 48% women, 64% African American, EF 37.6±13.9, 36% NYHA III, the remainder NYHA II.
At baseline the vitamin D group 25OHD was 19.1 ± 9.3 ng/ml and increased to 61.7 ± 20.3 ng/ml; in the placebo group baseline 25OHD was 17.8 ± 9.0 ng/ml and decreased to 17.4 ± 9.8 ng/ml at 6 months (between groups p<0.001).
There was no significant change from baseline to 6 months in peak VO2, 6MW, TGUG or isokinetic muscle strength.

CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D3 did not improve physical performance for patients with HF despite a robust increase in serum 25OHD.
Vitamin D repletion in patients with HF should conform to standard adult guidelines for vitamin D supplementation.

Strange - seems like the study did things correctly.Good amount of vitamin D, trial lasted long enough, vitamin D levels were raised high enough. Yet no benefit.


INTERVENTION Clinical Trials for (heart OR cardiovascular) and "vitamin D" 364 as of Jan 2019

  • Intervention = give vitamin D and see what happens usually testing vitamin D vs placebo
  • The majority of these intervention trials are for TREATMENT, rather than prevention
  • Vitamin D and cardiovascular disease preventiom May 2016
    Large Ongoing Random Controlled CVD trials
    No apparent attempt to trial those with low levels of vitamin D,
    No Magnesium added,
    No Omega-3 added,
    Not much vitamin D used - especially since statins used with CVD reduce the vitamin D
    No Vitamin K2 to stop Calcium increased by Vitamin D from coating the arteries

Increased exercise after heart attack cuts in half the chance of death in next four years

  • Mercola May 2018
    Back in the 1960's you were supposed to have 6 weeks of bedrest following a heart attack
    Mercola does not mention that exercise might greatly reduce the risk of the heart attack as well
