Low levels of Vitamin D and other nutrients may not be good for the health of your heart, according to latest research. Recent studies have identified low vitamin D levels as a common problem with many adverse health effects, including higher rates of cardiovascular disease.
People with vitamin D deficiency are at increased risk of high blood pressure (BP), heart failure and heart disease, according to Suzanne Judd, University of Alabama, Birmingham (UA-B) and Vin Tangpricha of Emory University. In heart disease patients, low vitamin D may increase the risk of high blood pressure or sudden death. Vitamin D deficiency may also help explain the apparent links between osteoporosis-related fractures and heart failure.
Osteoporosis and heart failure are both common conditions in older adults and share several risk factors including low vitamin D. Pending further research to clarify this relationship, patients with heart failure need attention to their risks of osteoporosis and fractures. These findings were published in the July issue of The American Journal of the Medical Sciences (AJMS).

this has to be true only from the given fact that if you go to your Dr. and tell him to write you down a requisition for Vitamin D test, he wont and will start giving all kinds of excuses..try it and you will see...i guess they know that if ppl keep up with their Vitamin D count, they wont be having much health related problems which puts a risk to their profession as well as the pharmaceutical companies...i have a chart of how much the levels should be in each individual.. if anyone interested please let me know...here is more reading on the same topic...i am glad Kumar raised this topic...

Seems like your Dr is all out to make $$ and not provide service. In my case it was totally the opposite. I had a total body profile done a few months ago, and my Dr told me that my Vit. D was slightly lower. He asked me to start Vit. D tab. Just last week he gave me a blood test requisition for a Vit. D test, I guess to confirm if I've been taking the tabs regularly

Another thing that is little known about Vitamin D is that it can cause side effects in some individuals. I started taking 1000 IU daily of Vitamin D last winter after reading all the good things about it's benefits and continued taking it until last month when I noticed that my teeth and bones were more sensitive to cold. I was also urinating more frequently,especially at night. After doing some googling, I found that these were some of the side effects of Vitamin D. In cold countries like Canada, it is advisable to take Vitamin D in wainter due to less exposure to sun. However, in summer the body makes more Vitamin D and an outside supplementation can lead to Vitamin D buildup and cause side effects.
I have stopped taking Vitamin D for now, and will resume in the winter.

there is always a count of vitamin D in ur body and more of it can be harmful...i think its better to get the count first of the ratio of Vitamin D in your body before starting to take the tabs..if u had taken the test, can you tell me what ur levels where?
