Therapeutic Role of Vitamin D in Cardiovascular Disease: Emerging Evidence

Moretti HD*, Grant WB, Berry BD and Colucci VJ

While the importance of Vitamin D for calcium absorption and metabolism and bone health was recognized about a century ago, its importance for non-skeletal effects has only been generally recognized and appreciated in this century. Most of the supporting evidence is either from observational studies, including prospective studies, related to serum 25-hydroxyVitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations, or studies of Vitamin D mechanisms. A moderate amount of this evidence has been generated from clinical trials.
