• Blood clotting (Thrombosis) and low Vitamin D - many studies
• Ischemic Stroke and Vitamin D - many studies
• Vitamin D is the best Vitamin to prevent a stroke - meta-analysis
• Recurrent Stroke 5X more-likely if very low vitamin D - meta-analysis
• Heart attack risk halved in adults with heart disease if >40 ng level of vitamin D (RCT)
• 300,000 IU of vitamin D injection not enough to statistically reduce markers of Venous Thromboembolism – RCT
• Medicare paid $1 B to $18 B for each of these drugs (Vitamin D helps fight most of the health problems)
• 2.2 X more likely to die if low Vitamin D (Thromboembolism in this case)
• Deep Vein Thrombosis during ischemic stroke rehab was 4.7 X more likely if low vitamin D
• Large vessel Ischemic Stroke 13 X more likely if low vitamin D
• Cardiovascular events – need more than monthly 60,000 IU vitamin D to prevent other than infarction
• Those raising Vitamin D above 30 ng were 1.4 X less likely to die of Heart Attack (VA 19 years)
• Stroke prevention and rehabilitation with vitamin D
• Stroke rehabilitation (and prevention) requires Vitamin D actually getting to cells
• Heart attack ICU costs cut in half by Vitamin D
• Heart Attacks in men 13 percent more likely if 10 degrees further North (Sweden)
• Deep vein blood clots 12X more frequent in SCI patients who did not get vitamin D supplements
• Heart Attack ICU costs reduced $37,000 by $20 of Vitamin D
• Stroke 74% less likely if high vitamin D (7,295 women 20-50 years old)
• Ischemic Stroke risk best predicted by Vitamin D, including PTH improves the prediction
• Higher vitamin D levels associated with fewer vein clots decades later
• Major Heart attacks occur 40 percent more often if vitamin D lower than 7 ng
• Thrombosis (leads to stroke) worse with low vitamin D
• Vitamin D significantly lowers macrophage adhesion to prevent arterial clots (in diabetics)
