Calcium and vitamin D supplementation impact on survival in patients with moderate concomitant aortic and mitral valve disease.

ABSTRACT: Calcium supplement intake, with or without vitamin D supplementation, has risen amongst the older population, who are more likely to have deficiencies. Our aim was to investigate how the supplementation of calcium and vitamin D is associated with survival in patients with moderate concomitant aortic and mitral valve disease. A total of 3,257 patients (mean age of 71.73 years; 55.2% male; 83.1% White) were diagnosed with moderate concomitant aortic and mitral valve disease at Cleveland Clinic between January 2010 and December 2020 and were included in this study. The patients were divided into two groups based on their supplement intake. Further subgroup analysis was performed, focusing on the aortic valve, leading to the stratification of patients into two subgroups-group 1: aortic stenosi
