The researcher-cardiologist explained which vitamin plays an important role in the prevention of heart and vascular diseases. According to the doctor, it is important to know your vitamin D level in the body.
So, Italian scientists conducted a meta-analysis of clinical studies from 2007 to 2013 and noticed that in 25 out of 32 such works there was a relationship between low levels of the above substance with an increased risk of developing arterial hypertension.
Lack of vitamin D is considered as an additional “non-classical” risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, which means that it can also be one of the components of an integrated approach in the prevention and treatment of hypertension.
In Russia, an indicator of 30-60 ng / ml is considered normal. The lack of vitamin D is recorded at a content of 20 to 30 ng / ml, below 20 - already a deficiency. The cardiologist noted that with a deficiency of vitamin D in the blood, the dosage and the choice of the drug should be prescribed by the doctor. It is also necessary to monitor blood counts.
