Vitamin D receptor activation: cardiovascular and renal implications
The effects of vitamin D receptor activation on cardiovascular diseases, especially hypertension and cardiac dysfunction, are areas of active investigation. This article reviews the current state of knowledge about vitamin D receptor activation with respect to blood pressure, heart, and vascular health, as well as to chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Potential biological mecha...
متن کاملThe influence of selective vitamin D receptor activator paricalcitol on cardiovascular system and cardiorenal protection
The ubiquitous distribution of vitamin D receptors in the human body is responsible for the pleiotropic effects of vitamin D-receptor activation. We discuss the possible beneficial effects of a selective activator of vitamin D receptor, paricalcitol, on the cardiovascular system in chronic heart failure patients and chronic kidney patients, in light of new trials. Paricalcitol should provide ad...
متن کاملProtective cardiovascular and renal actions of vitamin D and estrogen.
Both basic science and clinical studies support the concept that vitamin D deficiency is involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and renal diseases through its association with diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. Understanding the underlying mechanisms may provide a rationale for advocating adequate intake of vitamin D and calcium in all populations, thereby preventing many chronic dise...
متن کاملOptimal Vitamin D Supplementation Levels for Cardiovascular Disease Protection
First described in relation to musculoskeletal disease, there is accumulating data to suggest that vitamin D may play an important role in cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this review we aim to provide an overview of the role of vitamin D status as both a marker of and potentially causative agent of hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, and periphera...
متن کاملRenal protection in cardiovascular surgery
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most relevant complications after major surgery and is a predictor of mortality. In Western countries, patients at risk of developing AKI are mainly those undergoing cardiovascular surgical procedures. In this category of patients, AKI depends on a multifactorial etiology, including low ejection fraction, use of contrast media, hemodynamic instability, ca...
