Does Vitamin D Provide Added Benefit to Antihypertensive Therapy in Reducing Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Determined by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance?
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and vitamin D deficiency have been linked to hypertension (HTN) and cardiovascular disease, particularly in African Americans (AAs). Our objective was to determine if the addition of vitamin D to antihypertensive therapy would lead to greater regression of LV mass index (LVMI) as determined by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) after 1 year in vitamin D deficient AA patients with uncontrolled HTN and …
