The relevance of vitamin D for prevention of cardiovascular disease is uncertain. The BEST-D (Biochemical Efficacy and Safety Trial of vitamin D) trial previously reported effects of vitamin D on plasma markers of vitamin D status, and the present report describes the effects on blood pressure, heart rate, arterial stiffness, and cardiac function.
This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 305 older people living in United Kingdom, who were allocated vitamin D 4000 IU (100 μg), vitamin D 2000 IU (50 μg), or placebo daily. Primary outcomes were plasma concentrations of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D and secondary outcomes were blood pressure, heart rate, and arterial stiffness in all participants at 6 and 12 months, plasma N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide levels in all participants at 12 months, and echocardiographic measures of cardiac function in a randomly selected subset (n=177) at 12 months. Mean (SE) plasma 25-hydroxy-vitamin D concentrations were 50 (SE 2) nmol/L at baseline and increased to 137 (2.4), 102 (2.4), and 53 (2.4) nmol/L after 12 months in those allocated 4000 IU/d, 2000 IU/d of vitamin D, or placebo, respectively. Allocation to vitamin D had no significant effect on mean levels of blood pressure, heart rate, or arterial stiffness at either 6 or 12 months, nor on any echocardiographic measures of cardiac function, or plasma N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide concentration at 12 months.
The absence of any significant effect of vitamin D on blood pressure, arterial stiffness, or cardiac function suggests that any beneficial effects of vitamin D on cardiovascular disease are unlikely to be mediated through these mechanisms.

维生素 D 对预防心血管疾病的相关性尚不确定。BEST-D(维生素 D 的生化功效和安全性试验)试验此前报道了维生素 D 对维生素 D 状态的血浆标志物的影响,本报告描述了其对血压、心率、动脉僵硬和心脏功能的影响。
这是一项在英国居住的 305 名老年人中进行的随机、双盲、安慰剂对照试验,他们每天接受维生素 D 4000IU(100μg)、维生素 D 2000IU(50μg)或安慰剂治疗。主要结局是所有参与者在 6 个月和 12 个月时的血浆 25-羟维生素 D 浓度,所有参与者在 12 个月时的血浆 N 端脑钠肽前体水平,以及在随机选择的亚组(n=177)中在 12 个月时的超声心动图心脏功能测量。基线时平均(SE)血浆 25-羟维生素 D 浓度为 50(SE 2)nmol/L,分别接受 4000IU/d、2000IU/d 维生素 D 或安慰剂治疗 12 个月后,分别增加至 137(2.4)、102(2.4)和 53(2.4)nmol/L。维生素 D 分配对 6 个月或 12 个月时的血压、心率或动脉僵硬的平均水平,或任何超声心动图心脏功能测量或血浆 N 端脑钠肽前体浓度在 12 个月时均无显著影响。
维生素 D 对血压、动脉僵硬或心脏功能没有任何显著影响,这表明维生素 D 对心血管疾病的任何有益影响都不太可能通过这些机制介导。
