Vitamin D, the autonomic nervous system, and cardiovascular risk
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and vitamin D deficiency are extremely prevalent worldwide (Holick 2007; World Health Organization 2011). The potential link between vitamin D deficiency and CVD-related death in both healthy and diseased populations is a growing area of translational research. Historically, the traditional role of vitamin D in maintaining calcium homeostasis and mineral metabolism ...
متن کاملVitamin D and cardiovascular prevention.
Vitamin D has been known to medical science for almost a century. Yet, it is only in the last 15 years that we have realized that the biological effects of vitamin D extend far beyond the control of calcium metabolism. Recent observational evidence suggests strong links between low vitamin D levels and a range of cardiovascular conditions, including stroke, myocardial infarction, hypertension, ...

A 56-year-old black female patient with significant coronary heart disease (CHD) after several percutaneous intervention procedures for acute coronary syndromes was seen in the office for routine follow-up. She is 5 ft 5 in tall and weighs 265 pounds. She had recently gained 25 pounds after losing nearly 100 pounds following bariatric surgery. Her blood pressure, which was previously controlled...
متن کاملVitamin D and Cardiovascular Disease
Vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency has been observed worldwide at all stages of life. It has been characterized as a public health problem, since low concentrations of this vitamin have been linked to the pathogenesis of several chronic diseases. Several studies have suggested that vitamin D is involved in cardiovascular diseases and have provided evidence that it has a role in reducing cardiov...
متن کاملVitamin D and cardiovascular disease.
Vitamin D plays a classical hormonal role in skeletal health by regulating calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Vitamin D metabolites also have physiological functions in nonskeletal tissues, where local synthesis influences regulatory pathways via paracrine and autocrine mechanisms. The active metabolite of vitamin D, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, binds to the vitamin D receptor that regulates numer...
