This research aims to identify the critical factors in the relationship between Vitamin D and coronary heart disease. The hypothesis is that vitamin D can decrease the risk of coronary heart disease. Previous data show how Vitamin D reduces atherosclerosis and homocysteine levels and how Vitamin D incorporates and decreases fat and calcium in the rest of the body, whether through renal excretion or intestinal absorption. It is shown that Vitamin D reduces plaque in the carotid artery as well, which is a more dangerous place for atherosclerosis to occur, as it affects blood flow into the brain. By studying the effect of Vitamin D on the risk of coronary heart disease, this research paper explores possible treatment options that increase Vitamin D levels and reduce the risk of heart attacks, such as getting more sunlight and taking dietary supplements for molecules such as calcitriol.
