  1. The current trends regarding significance of vitamins in cardiovascular disease Prof. Asma Shaukat

  2. NIACIN (B3) direct and noncompetitive inhibition hepatocyte diacylglycerol acyltransferase-2, a key enzyme for TG synthesis. accelerated intracellular hepatic apo B degradation and the decreased secretion of VLDL and LDL particles. REFERENCE Kamanna VS, Kashyap ML. Atherosclerosis Research Center, Department of Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, Long Beach, California. Am J Cardiol. 2008 Apr 17;101(8A):20B-26B.

  3. Decreased HDL-apo A-I catabolism inhibits the hepatocyte surface expression of beta-chain adenosine triphosphate synthase (a recently reported HDL-apo A-I holoparticle receptor), inhibits the removal of HDL-apo A-I. REFERENCE Kamanna VS, Kashyap ML. Atherosclerosis Research Center, Department of Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, Long Beach, California. Am J Cardiol. 2008 Apr 17;101(8A):20B-26B.

  4. 1-3 g/day niacin increases HDL level by 10-30 % making it most powerful agent to increase HDL cholesterol. Recommended form of niacin for raising HDL is sustained release preparations.

  5. Homocysteine Normal level is 10-15mmol/L in serum Classification of severity of high homocysteine. Mild-----15-30mmol/L Moderate----30-100mmol/L Severe--->100mmol/L CHD pt with Hcy >15mmol/L belongs to high risk group.

  6. Path-physiological role of homocysteine in CHD Atherogenic Induces vascular inflammation via expression of TNF Increased.oxidative stress. Promote oxidation of LDL. Increased uptake of modified LDL by macrophages. Direct toxic injury to endothelial.

  7. Path-physiological role of homocysteine in CHD Thrombogenic. Enhances binding of lipoprotein (a) to fibrin decreases cell surface thrombomodulin and protein-C activation Increases platelet aggregation. Impairs inactivation of factor Va by activated protein C

  8. Folic acid is itself not biologically active, Biological importance is due to tetrahydrofolate Folic acid

  9. The human body needs folate to: Synthesize DNA Repair DNA Methylate DNA Cofactor in biological reactions involving folate.  Aiding rapid cell division and growth (infancy and pregnancy).  Production of healthy red blood cells and to prevent anemia. Functions

  10. The FDA’s implementation of mandatory fortification of grains and cereals with folic acid on January 1, 1998 is a direct result of research studies confirming folate’s HCY-lowering effects, References: Tucker KL, Selhub K, et.al. Dietary intake pattern related to plasma folate and HCY concentrations in the Framingham Heart Study. J Nutr 1996;126:3025-3031. Food and Drug Administration. Food Standards: amendment of standards of identity for enriched grain products to require addition of folic acid. Federal Register. 1996;61(44):8781-97. Riddell, LJ, Chisholm A, et.al. Dietary strategies for lowering HCY concentrations. Am J Clin Nutr. 2000; 71(6): 1448-54.

  11. TRYPTOPHAN N-FORMYLKYNURENINE KYNURENINE 3-OH-KYNURENINE 3-OH ANTHRANILIC ACID QUINOLINIC ACID NIACIN Xanthurenic Acid Kynureninase (PLP) acetyl CoA acetoacetyl CoA

  12. C-reactive proteins: Low concentrations of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) are associated with high C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Low PLP and elevated inflammatory markers, such as high:sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) and fibrinogen, are related to a higher risk of CAD. References: Waldmann A, Koschizke JW, et.al. HCY and cobalamin status in German vegans. Public Health Nutr. 2004 May;7(3):467-72 B6 AND CHD

  13. Vitamin B12 and Homocysteine

  14. Vitamin B12 and Homocysteine

  15. Ascorbic Acid It was found out that serum ascorbic acid levels were independently associated with prevalence of coronary heart disease and stroke; A 0.5-mg per dl increase in serum ascorbic acid level was associated with an 11% reduction in coronary heart disease and stroke prevalence. REFERENCE Joel A. Simon, Esther S. Hudes and Warren S. Browner Epidemiology Vol. 9, No. 3 (May, 1998), pp. 316-321

  16. Vitamin C Reduces oxidation, Increase collagen for healing and Improve the health and strength of arteries, High dose Lysine destroys Lp(a) plaques. REFERENCE How to Live Longer and Feel Better Linus Pauling

  17. initiation of atherosclerotic plaque formation. Vitamin C and amino acid lysine (LP(a) binding inhibitors), prevent this molecule from binding to the walls of damaged arteries. These substances at high dosages are patented to prevent and to destroy existing atherosclerotic plaques. REFERENCE Joel A. Simon, Esther S. Hudes and Warren S. Browner Epidemiology Vol. 9, No. 3 (May, 1998), pp. 316-321 Role of Vit C Deficiency in CHD:

  18. Vit D inhibits Renin Angiotensin System • Vit D regulates vascular smooth muscle (VSMC) function. – Presence of 25OHD 1-alphahydroxylase in smooth muscle. • Vit D improves endothelial cell-dependent vasodilation. • Vit D inversely associated with coronary artery calcification. • Vit D inhibits myocardial cell hypertrophy. • Vit D exhibits anticoagulant activity. • Vit D exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. Reference Greenland, Susan R. Heckbert, Karen C. Johnson, JoAnn E. Manson,et al. Calcium/Vitamin D Supplementation and Cardiovascular Events. Circulation 2007, 115:846-854 VITAMIN D

  19. Vitamin E - 800 to 3200 iu Vitamin A - 20,000 to 40,000iu Super B-Complex, esp. Vitamins B6 and B3 Magnesium (300 to 1500 mg) and avoid Manganese Avoid refined carbohydrates Amino acids Taurine, Arginine and Carnitine (1 to 3 g). Add a good mineral/multivitamin.
