Coronary artery disease and its association with Vitamin D deficiency

Abstract: Coronary artery disease (CAD) has become the latest scourge of humankind and referred to in this article as CAD, is the end result of the accumulation of atheromatous plaques within the walls of coronary arteries that supply the myocardium, a process also known as atherosclerosis and manifests mostly in the form of chronic stable angina or acute coronary syndrome. Vitamin D has attracted considerable interest recently due to its role in a number of extraskeletal disease processes including multiple sclerosis, … Show more

“…Vitamin D deficiency may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease at several levels, due to the fact that its receptors are present in different tissues. Vitamin D may be involved in the regulation of blood pressure, through different mechanisms, including the renin-angiotensin system and the modulation of vascular smooth muscle cells growth and proliferation [7]: Kawashima have previously shown the presence of a receptor to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in smooth muscle tissue, supporting a potential role for Vitamin D in the regulation of vascular contraction and blood pressure [18]. Some mechanisms that may explain the preventive effects of Vitamin D against hypertension are summarized in Table 1.…”

“…In addition, vitamin D decreases arterial stiffness by causing upregulation of nitric oxide synthesis in endothelium. Thus, vitamin D helps in preventing hypertension as well as cardiovascular diseases [30]. Interestingly, vitamin D receptor has been identified on the surface of smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, myocardial cells, inflammatory cells and in platelets, thus, potentially influencing thrombosis.…”

“…Yine aynı çalışmada, ölçülen klopidogrel ve aspirinin bozulmuş trombosit yanıtının ST ve kardiyak ölüm riskinde artışa neden olduğu belirlenmiştir(40). Çalışmamıza dahil olan bireylerin klopidogrel ve aspirin tedavisi gördüğü düşünüldüğünde düşük hemoglobin seviyesi beklenebilecek bir durum ,42,43). Özellikle D vitamininin, VDR ve VDBP proteinlerinin görev aldığı yolaklar yoluyla hastalığın progresyonunu önemli ölçüde etkilediği düşünülmektedir.…”
