Vitamin D supplements may cut risk of heart attacks, trial suggests
The largest study of its kind may prove a link between vitamin D levels and the risk of cardiovascular diseaseVitamin D supplements may cut the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks in older people, according to the largest study of its kind.Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the main causes of death globally. The number of cardiovascular events is predicted to surge as populations continue to age and chronic diseases become more common.Continue reading...

Associations of Serum 25(OH)D with Risk of Recurrent Cardiovascular Events in Individuals with Coronary Heart Disease
This study aimed to investigate the associations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms with the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events in individuals with established CHD.METHODS: A total of 22,571 participants with CHD were included from the UK Biobank. Recurrent cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure (HF), stroke, and CVD mortality, were identified from electronic health records. Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).RESULTS: The median (interquartile ra...

Evidence That Increasing Serum 25(OH)D Concentrations to 30 ng/mL in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates Could Greatly Improve Health Outcomes
Biomedicines. 2023 Mar 23;11(4):994. doi: 10.3390/biomedicines11040994.ABSTRACTAccumulating evidence supports the potential protective effects of vitamin D against chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, autoimmune diseases, cancers, cardiovascular disease (ischaemic heart disease and stroke), type 2 diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, stroke, and infectious diseases such as acute respiratory tract diseases, COVID-19, influenza, and pneumonia, as well as adverse pregnancy outcomes. The respective evidence is based on ecological and observational studies, randomized controlled trials, mechanistic studies, ...

Top 20 Research Studies of 2022 for Primary Care Physicians
This article summarizes the top 20 research studies of 2022 identified as POEMs (patient-oriented evidence that matters), excluding COVID-19. Statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease produce only a small absolute reduction in a person's likelihood of dying (0.6%), having a myocardial infarction (0.7%), or having a stroke (0.3%) over three to six years. Supplemental vitamin D does not reduce the risk of a fragility fracture, even in people with low baseline vitamin D levels or a previous fracture. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are preferred medical therapy for panic disorder, and patients who disco...
