Abstract
Introduction. Vitamin D deficiency is a quite common pathology in European countries. Serum vitamin D levels are closely linked to physical fitness and lesser response to cardiac rehabilitation in various categories of patients with heart disease. Vitamin D is also involved in the function of heart cells via a vitamin D receptors found in cardiomyocytes. We present the case of a patient with vitamin D deficiency and symptomatic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), in whom cardiac rehabilitation decreased PVC number, but association with vitamin D supplements led to a significant decrease in PVCs and complete disappearance of symptoms. Keywords: cardiac rehabilitation, vitamin D, ventricular premature contractions, physical activity,
