Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effect of Vitamin D3 on Vascular Function (NCT NCT00948298)

NCT ID: NCT00948298

Last Updated: 2018-07-17

Results Overview

The primary outcome variable is pulse wave velocity (PWV) for vascular stiffness. The hypothesis is that a greater decrease in the PWV will occur with the Vitamin D3 treatment. PWV is the speed at which the arterial pulse wave travels through the arteries in the cardiovascular system. It is considered the gold standard for the assessment of arterial elastance (stiffness) and determined by radial artery applanation tonometry using the SphygmoCor device.
