Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent worldwide. It has been associated with heart failure (HF) given its immunoregulatory functions. In-vitro and animal models have shown protective roles through mechanisms involving procollagen-1, JNK2, calcineurin/NFAT, NF-κB, MAPK, Th1, Th2, Th17, cytokines, cholesterol-efflux, oxLDL, and GLUT4, among others. A 12-month follow-up in HF patients showed a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, with no seasonal variation (64.7-82.4%). A positive correlation between serum 25(OH)D concentration and dietary intake of vitamin D-rich foods was found. A significant inverse correlation with IL-1β (R = -0.78), TNF-α (R = -0.53), IL-6 (R = -0.42), IL-8 (R = -0.41), IL-17A (R = -0.31), LDL-cholesterol (R = -0.51), Apo-B (R = -0.57), total-cholesterol (R = -0.48), and triglycerides (R = -0.32) was shown. Cluster analysis demonstrated that patients from cluster three, with the lowest 25(OH)D levels, presented the lowermost vitamin D intake, IL-10 (1.0 ± 0.9 pg/mL), and IL-12p70 (0.5 ± 0.4 pg/mL), but the highest TNF-α (9.1 ± 3.5 pg/mL), IL-8 (55.6 ± 117.1 pg/mL), IL-17A (3.5 ± 2.0 pg/mL), total-cholesterol (193.9 ± 61.4 mg/dL), LDL-cholesterol (127.7 ± 58.2 mg/dL), and Apo-B (101.4 ± 33.4 mg/dL) levels, compared with patients from cluster one. Although the role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of HF in humans is still uncertain, we applied the molecular mechanisms of in-vitro and animal models to explain our findings. Vitamin D deficiency might contribute to inflammation, remodeling, fibrosis, and atherosclerosis in patients with HF.

Kkeveetil CV, Thomas G, Chander SJU. Role of micronutrients in congestive heart failure: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials. Tzu Chi Med J 2017; 28:143-150. [PMID: 28757745 PMCID: PMC5442906 DOI: 10.1016/j.tcmj.2016.08.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2016] [Revised: 07/20/2016] [Accepted: 08/23/2016] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives: To assess the effect of micronutrients on health outcomes in patients with heart failure. Materials and Methods: Only randomized controlled trials testing the effectiveness of different micronutrients either singly or combined versus placebo in heart failure patients were included. We conducted a search in different databases such as Medline from PubMed, Embase and Scopus from Elsevier, and Google Scholar. The keywords used in the search were “Heart Failure” and its cognates, “Micronutrient,” “Minerals,” and names of individual micronutrients. Results: Out of 3288 titles and abstracts reviewed, only 11 trials comprising 529 individuals were found to be appropriate to be included in the final review. It was found that micronutrients, either single or combined, improved the health outcomes of heart failure patients by improving exercise tolerance, functional capacity, left ventricular function, flow-dependent dilation, and inflammatory milieu, thereby improving the quality of life of health failure patients. Certain micronutrients also normalized endothelial dysfunction. Conclusion: Overall, this systematic review found sufficient evidence to support a large-scale trial on micronutrient supplementation in patients with heart failure.
