PARTICIPATION OF VITAMIN D IN PATHOGENESIS OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES

Abstract

The article presents data of experimental and clinical studies devoted to the influence of vitamin D on the origin and progression of the cardiovascular diseases: arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cardiac rhythm disturbances. The results of the studies indicate that a pronounced deficiency of vitamin D is highly correlated with sudden cardiac death, cardiovascular catastrophes, and overall mortality. The decrease in vitamin D is followed by an increase in total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins and triglycerides, an increase in the heart rate and the level of systolic blood pressure. The Meta-analyzes of randomized controlled trials demonstrated that the addition of vitamin D to treatment and rehabilitation measures of the patients with cardiovascular disease helps to reduce overall mortality.
