Mechanical heart valves) Systems currently in UK The Future of Anticoagulation Secondary care clinics have become overloaded.

JIACM 2013; 14(3-4): 247-52 Vitamin D deficiency: A new risk factor for cardiovascular disease Biswajit Das*, Trinath Kumar Mishra**, Satya Narayan Routray**, Chhabi Satpathy*, Hrudananda Mishra*** Vitamin D deficiency is emerging as a new risk factor for various cardio-vascular diseases (CVDs), specifically atherosclerotic vasculardisease. A number of epidemiological studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency is prevalent among many populations cuttingacross all ethnicities and among all age groups. With the growing menace of the epidemic of CAD, emergence of another commonlyprevalent risk factor for the same is a matter of concern. Although the link between vitamin D deficiency and CAD has beenconsistently proven, interventional trials with supplementation of vitamin D or calcium have been disappointing in terms of riskreduction. Further research in this direction is underway and is likely to improve our understanding, and open up newer avenuesfor reducing the risk of CAD.
