NCT02087683

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of vitamin D supplementation in patients with heart failure and vitamin D deficiency on ventricular function, inflammatory cytokines, brain natriuretic peptide, lipid profile, glucose, serum insulin, serum parathyroid hormone and calcium.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline in myocardial function and structure at 12 months

    Myocardial structure and function will be evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging technique. Statistical results for each variable will be reported as a mean ± standard deviation.

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Change from baseline in inflammatory cytokines at 12 months

    12 months

  • Change from baseline in serum lipid profile at 12 months

    12 months

  • Change from baseline in serum calcium at 12 months

    12 months

  • Change from baseline in serum parathyroid hormone at 12 months

    12 months

  • Change from baseline in serum glucose at 12 months

Study Arms (2)

Vitamin D Supplementation

OTHER

Participants in this group will receive vitamin D supplements of 5 000 International units per day for 12 months.

Other: Vitamin D Supplementation

Control Group (Placebo)

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participants in this group will receive a placebo containing gelatin and corn oil per day for 12 months

Other: Control group (Placebo)

Interventions

Participants in this group will receive vitamin D supplements of 5 000 International units per day for 12 months. Each patient will attend their respective clinic for clinical evaluation by their cardiologist, whom will give them the vitamin supply for a month.

Eligibility Criteria

Age45 Years - 85 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • \. Patients with heart failure with:
  • Ventricular ejection fraction of \<40%
  • B natriuretic peptide \> 300 milligrams per milliliter
  • Pharmacologic therapy with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and beta blockers (BB)
  • NYHA class III or IV
  • Vitamin D insufficiency (less than 30 ng/ml)

You may not qualify if:

  • Subjects without hear failure diagnosis
  • Subjects with ventricular ejection fraction above 40%
  • Subjects with BNP \<300 mg/ml
  • Subjects who don't take ACEI or BB
  • Subjects with NYHA class I or II
  • Subjects with serum vitamin D of ≥ 30 ng/ml
  • Subjects with metallic implants (due to magnetic resonance)
  • Subjects allergic to contrast media (gadolinium) used for magnetic resonance
  • Subjects with renal failure due to failure to eliminate contrast media
  • Suspension Criteria:
  • From intervention group: subjects who stop taking the supplement or take a different dosage than recommended for more than 80% of the time frame
  • Both groups: subjects who stop attending their monthly clinical evaluation with a cardiologist
  • Subjects who don't show up for their evaluation dates given for anthropometric measurements and laboratory sample taking
  • Subjects who don't show up their final magnetic resonance evaluation
  • Subjects having adverse symptoms to vitamin D supplementation; those suspected to have an overdose reaction
  • +1 more criteria
