Vitamin D and Cardiovascular Health: What Does the Science Say?

Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to increased risks of hypertension, heart failure, and coronary artery disease. According to a report published on Cardiovascular Business, multiple observational and interventional studies reveal that sufficient vitamin D levels can contribute to:

• Reducing systemic inflammation markers
• Improving endothelial function and vascular compliance
• Regulating blood pressure and myocardial contractility
• Mitigating oxidative stress, a key cardiovascular risk factor

These findings strengthen the argument for vitamin D supplementation in at-risk populations, particularly older adults and those with limited sun exposure.
