Chronic vitamin D deficiency may be a culprit in heart disease, high blood pressure and metabolic syndrome, a new study has suggested.
The lack of sunshine during winter may diminish vitamin D levels in the body and harm cardiovascular health, according to the study, conducted by researchers at Loyola University in Chicago.
The body needs sunshine to produce vitamin D, but that process is slowed in the winter due to less daylight and spending more time indoors, said the study.
The researchers reviewed a number of studies that linked vitamin D deficiency to heart disease. The studies said rates of severe heart disease or death may be 30 per cent to 50 per cent higher in sun-deprived heart
disease patients.
Diet alone is not sufficient to manage vitamin D levels, said the study.
Treatment options, such as vitamin D2 or D3, may decrease the risk of severe heart disease or death. The preferred range in the body is 30-60 mg/mL of vitamin D. Most physicians do not routinely test for vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamin D and heart disease
Indeed. There seems to be an increasing amount of research indicating the importance of vitamin D in preventing cardiovascular disease. I ran across this article with substantial references documenting the importance of vitamin D in cardiovascular health. The article stated: "People with serum Vitamin D levels below 15 nanograms per ml are twice as likely to experience a heart attack or stroke."
