Abstract
Objective: Patients with heart failure may benefit from vitamin D treatment, according to new research (Congestive Heart Failure).
 Methods: In our current nonrandomized clinical research, 43 individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy who did not exhibit substantial gains in physical functioning with optimum heart failure therapy were included. Twelve weeks of weekly vitamin D supplements (200,000 IU) were added to the heart failure therapy to help improve the patient's condition. On the other hand, researchers looked at how it affected the 6-minute walk distance and pro-BNP levels. To analyses the data, we utilized SPSS version 19. Accordingly, we utilized random samples t-tests to assess the substantial role of vitamin D supplementation on pre-intervention vitamin D level, 6-minute walk distance, and pro-BNP level, respectively. Significance was defined as an alpha value less than 0.01.
 Results: Individuals in NYHA class II (66%) were the majority, while those in NYHA classes I, III and IV were represented by 18%, 8% and 5%, accordingly. Following 14 weeks of vitamin D treatment, the group's mean vitamin D level was increased from 17.596.57ng/ml at baseline to 32.974.65ng/ml (p0.0006). Pre-intervention mean distance travelled was 806382ft, however after the intervention it rose to 945392ft (p-value 0.07). While before the intervention, the mean per-BNP level of research participant was 1025-636, and after intervention, it had enhanced to 160-80--a statistically significant improvement (p=0.005).
 Conclusion: According to a decline in blood pro-BNP characterized by an increase in six-minute walk distance, vitamin D administration decreases the intensity of heart failure.

Summary
Heart failure, which affects about 16 million individuals globally, is a major source of disease and mortality in older adults. Even though the etiology of heart failure has been better understood, the diagnosis for heart failure patients is still dismal, with survival rates as low as 36 percent after five years. In individuals with heart failure, vitamin D insufficiency is prevalent, and the prevalence rises with age. An insufficient intake of vitamin D can produce muscular weakness in people with and without heart disease, resulting in less physical activity. Vitamin D contains anti-inflammatory effects as well as the ability to decrease renin levels and enhance muscular strength. Vitamin D is associated with hyperactivity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, endothelial dysfunction and alterations in calcium flow resulting in reduced cardiac contractility as the primary causes. By inhibiting pro inflammatory chemicals, reducing reninangiotensin-aldosterone pathway, and decreasing parathyroid hormone levels, vitamin
