Congestive Heart Failure
Low vitamin D leads to increase PTH
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) also activates Protein Kinase - C (via Galphaq) in cardiomyocytes, and provokes the hypertrophic response.
May Result in Congestive Heart Failure

Average serum vitamin D levels varied by season: March 12.0 ng/mL August 22.7 ng/mL
This is an 89% difference, showing the need for supplementation during winter months.

Prevalence of Low Vitamin DIn this study of over 3,200 people: One-fourth were deficient,
less than 10 ng/mL Two-thirds were rated
“insufficient”, less than 20 ng/mL
75% were less than the recommended level, 30 ng/mL

32
Incidence in Populations Estimated 1 billion people world wide 40-100% elderly men and women 50% of postmenopausal women have levels less than
optimal (<30 ng/cc). 52% of Hispanic and black adolescents in Boston (<20
ng/cc) 48% of white preadolescent girls in Maine (<20ng/cc) 42% of 15-49 y/o in US - NHANES (< 20 ng/cc) 32% of healthy student, physicians and residents in
Boston Hospital despite daily glass of milk, daily multivit and salmon weekly

Sources of Vitamin DDairy Cod liver Oil - eat
lots of fish Supplements

Supplements Sources
Vit D2 - ergosterol from yeast - 30% as effective
Vit D3 - 7-dehy- cholesterol from lanolin (Rx in USA)

Sources of Vitamin D Sunlight Never Causes Toxic Levels Whole Body Minimal Erythema Dose gives
10-20,000 IU RDA: 200-400-600 IU Need: 6% of body exposed for 15 min 3
days a week
37
Special Situations
Sun Screen - SPF 8 -> 98% decrease in Vit D formation
Winter >35 Degree Latitude
Dark SkinUp to 50X exposure needed30-50% of Black Americans
Deficient (Estimated)

Special Situations
Giovannucci E, Liu Y, Willett WC. Cancer Incidence and Mortality and Vitamin D in Black and White Male Health Professionals. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2006 Nov 28
Black compared to White Health Professionals Black - Low risk for Vit D deficiency
CA RR 95 (CI .6-1.51)Mortality RR 1.55 (CI .91-2.62)
Black - High Risk for Vit D deficiencyCA RR 1.57 (CI 1.15-2.11)Mortality RR 2.27 (CI 2.26-3.28)
“This pattern was even more pronounced for digestive system cancer. Our results suggest that the high frequency of hypovitaminosis D in Blacks may be an important, and easily modifiable, contributor to their higher risk of cancer incidence and mortality.”

RecommendationsSun every day - 15 + minutesSun block after sun exposure for 15 min.Educate the Public as to risk factors.Supplement in high risk individuals or situations Diagnose and Treat to Target
Deficient < 20 ng/ml Insuficiency 20-30ng/cc
Goal 40-60 ng/mlGoal 40-60 ng/mlSafe up to 150 ng/ml(Lab "Normal" 8-60 ng/ml)
42
RecommendationsScreen all High Risk Individuals
Aggressive Replacement for <20 ng/cc
50,000 IU two or three times per week with meals ( 1 tsp oil with meal)
Recheck levels in one to two months
Treat to greater than 30 ng/cc to shut off PTH completely in osteoporisis
Consider Higher levels in special situations - autoimmune disease, malignancy. No toxicity to 150 ng/cc
43
Maintenance Recommendations
RDA 200-400-600 IU - Inadequate oral maintenance
Complete oral replacement 1000 IU/day
Safe upper daily limits 2000 IU/day - Present RDA
Recommended increase to optimize health
RDA 1000-2000IU/day
Safe Upper Daily Limit to 10,000/day
