Abstract

Both vitamin D and K2 are involved in a number of metabolic processes, including bone metabolism; however, associations between the vitamins are not fully understood. The aim of the study was to evaluate serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in adult patients receiving long-term acenocoumarol (AC) treatment. In this cross-sectional study, 58 Caucasian patients (31 women, 27 men) with a median age of 65 years receiving long-term AC therapy were evaluated and compared with 35 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. The AC treatment was used due to recurrent venous thromboembolism (34.5%), atrial fibrillation (31%), or mechanical heart valve prostheses (34.5%). Medical records and a questionnaire were used to obtain information about chronic diseases, smoking habits, and the duration of therapy and weekly dose of AC. Anthropometric measurements were performed, and serum concentration of 25(OH)D and total alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were measured. Among the 58 patients receiving long-term AC treatment, a high proportion (46.6%) demonstrated significant vitamin D deficiency with concentrations of 25(OH)D lower than 20 ng/mL. The median concentration of 25(OH)D in subjects receiving AC was significantly lowe...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.
