Did you know? (from VitaminDWiki)
Many studies show that cardiovascular problems are treated & prevented by Vitamin D
As with many other health problems:
More Vitamin D is needed to treat than to prevent
Omega-3, Magnesium, and Vitamin K2 also probably also help

MAYO Clinic April 2012: Pathways from vitamin D Deficiency to CVD
RCT found no increase in physical performance in heart failure patients with 50,000 IU weekly - Feb 2013
A randomized controlled trial of high dose vitamin D3 in patients with heart failure.
JACC Heart Fail. 2013 Feb;1(1):84-90. doi: 10.1016/j.jchf.2012.11.003.
Boxer RS1, Kenny AM2, Schmotzer BJ3, Vest M4, Fiutem JJ5, Piña IL6.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Vitamin D3 on physical performance in patients with HF.
BACKGROUND: HF is associated with functional decline and frailty. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with loss of muscle strength and poor outcomes in patients with HF.
METHODS: Sixty-four patients participated in a 6-month parallel design double blind RCT to test the hypothesis that oral vitamin D3 would improve physical performance. Vitamin D3 50,000 IU or placebo was given weekly; all received daily calcium. Patients were included regardless of EF and 25OHD ≤ 37.5 ng/ml. The primary outcome was peak VO2, and secondary outcomes were the 6MW, TGUG and knee isokinetic muscle strength. Between group comparisons were made using ANCOVA models that adjust for baseline measures.
RESULTS: Patients were age 65.9 ± 10.4 years old, 48% women, 64% African American, EF 37.6±13.9, 36% NYHA III, the remainder NYHA II.
At baseline the vitamin D group 25OHD was 19.1 ± 9.3 ng/ml and increased to 61.7 ± 20.3 ng/ml; in the placebo group baseline 25OHD was 17.8 ± 9.0 ng/ml and decreased to 17.4 ± 9.8 ng/ml at 6 months (between groups p<0.001).
There was no significant change from baseline to 6 months in peak VO2, 6MW, TGUG or isokinetic muscle strength.CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D3 did not improve physical performance for patients with HF despite a robust increase in serum 25OHD. Vitamin D repletion in patients with HF should conform to standard adult guidelines for vitamin D supplementation.
Download the PDF from VitaminDWiki.Seems like the study did things correctly. Good amount of vitamin D, trial lasted long enough, vitamin D levels were raised high enough. Perhaps no improvement in physical performance shouldd be expected AFTER damage was done.
INTERVENTION Clinical Trials for (heart OR cardiovascular) and "vitamin D" 538 as of Sept 2024
- Intervention = give vitamin D and see what happens usually testing vitamin D vs placebo
- The majority of these intervention trials are for TREATMENT, rather than prevention
- Vitamin D and cardiovascular disease preventiom May 2016
Large Ongoing Random Controlled CVD trials
No apparent attempt to trial those with low levels of vitamin D,
No Magnesium added,
No Omega-3 added,
Not much vitamin D used - especially since statins used with CVD reduce the vitamin D
No Vitamin K2 to stop Calcium increased by Vitamin D from coating the arteries
