Acute cardiovascular effect of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol in essential hypertension

American Journal of Hypertension

Abstract

A role for vitamin D in the pathophysiology of essential hypertension has frequently been suggested, but acute direct effects on blood pressure, cardiac output, renal hemodynamics, or hormones have not previously been demonstrated. The rapid effects of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25-D) were assessed over 120 min after a bolus injection (0.02 microg/kg body weight) in eight men with essential hypertension and in nine healthy men. A placebo group of 10 healthy men was also included. Ionized calcium was monitored closely during the study, and was kept constant with a clamping technique. In the hypertensive patients, a transient increase in blood pressure and a reciprocal fall in cardiac output measured by a CO2 rebreathing technique (-15%, P < .05) were observed after 1,25-D injection. In the control group, both blood pressure and cardiac output remained unchanged. The glomerular filtration rate, effective renal plasma flow, and urinary sodium and water excretions were unchanged in both groups. Plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide at baseline were higher in the hypertensive patients than in the control subjects (P < .02); plasma levels of renin, aldosterone, norepinephrine, endothelin, and parathyroid hormone(1-84) wer...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
