Vitamin D levels and metabolism may play a role in the pathogenesis and treatment of atherosclerosis and subsequent cardiovascular health. Herein, we discuss both normal and disordered vitamin D metabolism as it pertains to atherosclerosis, and we review major clinical trials regarding vitamin D levels and effects of supplementation. Although there are no official recommendations for vitamin D as it applies to atherosclerosis, it is clear that these two entities are linked. Further study of the complex association between vitamin D and atherosclerosis, as well as the effects of supplementation, are recommended.
维生素D水平及代谢可能在动脉粥样硬化的发病机制、治疗以及后续心血管健康中发挥作用。在此,我们将讨论与动脉粥样硬化相关的正常及紊乱的维生素D代谢,并回顾关于维生素D水平及补充剂效果的主要临床试验。尽管尚无针对维生素D在动脉粥样硬化方面的官方推荐,但很明显这两者存在关联。建议进一步研究维生素D与动脉粥样硬化之间的复杂关联以及补充剂的效果。
