AB Vitamin D (25-OH-vitamin D) is a hormone which acts on thecalcium-phosphorus metabolism and also has extraskeletal effects.In the cardiovascular system, it regulates the renin-angiotensinaldosteronesystem (RAAS), inhibits vascular smooth muscle proliferation,and suppresses cardiac hypertrophy and hypercontractility [1].We assessed the relationship between vitamin D deficiencyand heart failure (HF) in an elderly population. We carried out aprospective case-control study in the Internal Medicine Department,Rio Hortega Hospital, Valladolid in 2010. Twenty-five patients werediagnosed with HF and 19 were institutionalized controls with nohistory of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The age of patients and controlgroup was similar (83±7 years vs. 85±8 years, pN0.05). The sexdistribution don't show differences. HF was diagnosed according toclinical and laboratory criteria (B-type natriuretic peptideN400 pg/mL).Vitamin D insufficiency was defined as levelsb20 ng/ml and deficiencyasb10 ng/ml. Two-dimensional echocardiography evaluated systolicand diastolic function, pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP), atrialfibrillation and valvular disease in the HF group.
