Higher 25OHD associated with lower mortality in suspected stable angina; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice without RCTs.
Is plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with suspected stable angina pectoris?
Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations have a U-shaped association with all-cause mortality and an inverse association with cardiovascular mortality in patients with suspected stable angina.
Degerud et al. (2018) studied this question.
