Correction of hypovitaminosis D improved global longitudinal strain earlier than left ventricular ejection fraction in cardiovascular older adults after orthopaedic surgery

Background Cardiovascular diseases and insufficient levels of vitamin D are risk factors for adverse surgical outcomes, and they are both commonly present among older adults undergoing orthopaedic surgery. Giving the cardiovascular effects of vitamin D, pre-operative diagnosis of hypovitaminosis D would be a valuable step for the implementation of supplementation protocols. We investigated if the nor- malization of serum 25 [OH] D could ameliorate cardiac performance of older adults suffering from cardiovascular diseases. Methods We enrolled 47 older adults scheduled for major orthopaedic surgery and suffering from hypovitaminosis D. Patients underwent 6-months cal- cifediol supplementation with a starting dose at first post-operative day of 50 ~tg/die in liquid preparation. Down-titration to 20 Ixg/die at 3-months assessment was planned. Cardiac performance was evaluated by measuring left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） and global longitudinal strain （GLS） during pre-operative assessments and at 1-month, 3-months, 6-months follow-ups. Results Six months of cal- cifediol supplementation were associated with a significant improvement of both LVEF （＋ 3.94%; 95% CI： -4.0789 to -0.8232; P 〈 0.01） and GLS （＋ 18.56%; Z = -5.895; P 〈 0.0001）. Conclusions Calcifediol supplementation normalized serum 25 [OH] D concentration after 1-month treatment. GLS offered better insights into myocardial contractile amelioration than LVEF, thus being useful for detecting earlier subclinical changes that may anticipate hemodynamic modifications.
