Overview

Vitamin D has a significant impact on our health. It is responsible for regular bone development and metabolism and is essential for proper cell differentiation, for the immune system, insulin secretion, blood pressure regulation, and other processes necessarily for life. There are many well-established health risks of vitamin D deficiency, even more probably exist relationship between levels of vitamin D and the risk of coronary artery disease. Cardiovascular disease are still the leading cause of mortality not only in Slovak Republic, but more or less, worldwide. Submitted review describes possible relationship between vitamin D deficiency and the level of cardiovascular risk. Computed tomography may be used for more precise indication of selective coronary angiography, preferentially in patients with ambiguous clinical findings. Its relationship to vitamin D level (sometimes is even sufficient only determination of calcium score) could be helpful in clinical application of so called personalized medicine.

Keywords:

calcium score – cardiovascular risk – coronary artery disease – CT angiography – vitamin
