This study evaluates whether achieving 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH] Vit D) levels (>40 ng/mL) among myocardial infarction patients will result in a reduction of cardiovascular-related adverse events. Half of the patients will be randomized to receive standard of care and half will receive clinical management of 25[OH] Vit D levels.
Low 25[OH] Vit D levels have become a public epidemic with increasing recognition of its widespread insufficiency both in the United States and worldwide. Epidemiologic studies have associated low 25[OH] Vit D levels with coronary risk factors and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, randomized trials are needed to establish the relevance of 25[OH] Vit D status to cardiovascular health. While a few randomized trials have evaluated vitamin D supplementation, none have "treated to target" (i.e., individual dosing so that adequate 25[OH] Vit D levels are obtained), but have rather given "blanket" doses regardless of 25[OH] Vit D level.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard of Care | No Intervention | Patients randomized to the standard of care arm will have a 25[OH] Vit D test performed, a sample taken and stored for future tests, and completion of a PHQ-9 depression survey at baseline and at study conclusion. No other contact is planned with the standard of care patients. Follow-up will be done by the querying of electronic records, which includes any 25[OH] Vit D testing, use of vitamin D supplementation, and outcomes. | |
| Treatment | Experimental | Patients randomized to the treatment arm will have a 25[OH] Vit D test performed, a sample taken and stored for future tests, and completion of a PHQ-9 depression survey. If at baseline a patient has a 25[OH] Vit D >40 ng/mL then follow-up testing will occur 1 year from baseline and the patient will continue current treatment strategy (no supplementation or current supplementation dosage). If baseline 25[OH] Vit D levels are <40 ng/mL then the patient will initiate or increase dose and return in 3 months (±15 days) to determine 25[OH] Vit D level. At 3 months, if 25[OH] Vit D >40 ng/mL then current dose should be kept and the patient will return in 1 year for follow-up testing. However, if 25[OH] Vit D <40 ng/mL then patients should double current dose and test again in 3 months. This should occur until 25[OH] Vit D reaches a level >40 ng/mL and once achieved, the patient will return in 1 year for follow-up 25[OH] Vit D testing. |
