About this trial

This is an interventional prevention trial for Coronary Artery Disease focused on measuring CAD, Vitamin D, CVD

Eligibility Criteria

30 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • between the ages of 30 and 80 years
  • have a history of medically treated coronary artery disease

Exclusion Criteria:

  • history of smoking in the past 2 years
  • history of diabetes mellitus

Sites / Locations

  • The Cardiac Center at Creighton University

Subject receives daily dose of Vitamin D

Subject does not receive medication

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

increase in T-regulatory Cells
We expect significant improvement in the suppressive capacity, with or without increase in the number, of circulating T-regs after vitamin D supplementation. This increase in T-regs function will correlate with improvement in clinical parameters.

Secondary Outcome Measures

decrease pro-inflammatory cytokines & sTNFR1 and increase serum IL-10
We also expect that vitamin D supplementation will decrease the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and sTNFR1 and increase the level of serum IL-10

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Vitamin D supplementation on cardiovascular disease and certain cells (T-regulatory cells) in the body that play a role in plaque formation in arteries. This study will determine the levels of Vitamin D and T-regulatory cells in subjects with coronary artery disease and if Vitamin D supplementation will affect future events such as heart attach and stroke.
