Vitamin D is a fat-soluble secosteroid produced in the skin as a result of exposure to the sun, and its circulation levels are reduced in a wide variety of chronic diseases and obesity. Observational studies clearly demonstrate a higher incidence of cardiovascular events in people with low circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH) D]. This relationship can potentially be explained by confusion, since individuals with a low 25 (OH) D are generally older, more fragile, heavier and have more comorbidities and a higher cardiovascular risk estimated than individuals with a 25 (OH) D higher. The vitamin D receptor appears to be widely distributed, including in the cardiovascular tissue, although this has been recently disputed. Despite these epidemiological and biological results, meta-analyzes of clinical trials have not shown any beneficial effects of vitamin D supplementation on cardiovascular parameters. Trials are underway to further assess these possibilities. There is currently insufficient evidence to support vitamin D supplementation to improve cardiovascular outcomes.
