Hypovitaminosis D and Valvular Calcification in Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 06/11/09
Dishmon DA et al. - In patients with DCM without marked renal dysfunction, valvular calcification was seen more frequently and associated with hypovitaminosis D, whereas in elderly patients with valvular calcification, hypovitaminosis D is common, suggesting that the duration of vitamin D deficiency may determine the extent of valvular calcification. The role of hypovitaminosis D in the appearance of valvular calcification deserves further study.
