A Personalized Approach to Vitamin D Supplementation in Cardiovascular Health Beyond the Bone: An Expert Consensus by the Italian National Institute for Cardiovascular Research

Le résumé fourni par la source

Vitamin D is increasingly recognized for its role in cardiovascular health beyond its well-established effects on bone metabolism. This review synthesizes findings from observational studies, interventional trials, and meta-analyses to clarify the mechanisms through which vitamin D impacts cardiovascular health, including its influence on vascular function, inflammation, and metabolic pathways. Additionally, this review emphasizes the importance of a personalized approach to vitamin D supplementation, integrating individual cardiovascular risk profiles, baseline vitamin D levels, and comorbid conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes. While current evidence supports the association between low vitamin D levels and increased cardiovascular mortality, this work contributes novel insights by proposing tailored strategies for supplementation, particularly for high-risk subgroups. Practical recommendations for implementing these strategies in clinical practice are also discussed, providing a framework for optimizing cardiovascular outcomes through individualized vitamin D management.
