Vitamin D deficiency linked to heart, stroke risk

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - People with low vitamin D levels face an elevated risk for heart attack, heart failure and stroke, according to a study published on Monday suggesting that the vitamin may protect against cardiovascular disease.
The elevated risk was particularly acute among those with high blood pressure, the researchers found.
