Clinical Trial Summary

Each patient who is admitted for preoperative preparation for elective open heart surgery at Intermountain Medical Center will be invited to participate in this study. After a written informed consent is obtained, patients meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomized 1:1 to the treatment arm or placebo/control arm. Those randomized to the treatment arm will receive three 50,000 unit oral doses of vitamin D3 supplementation. The first dose will be given the evening before surgery. The second and third doses will be given either orally or per NG tube on the mornings of post-op days 1 and 2. Blood will be obtained at the following time periods: 1) At baseline pre-procedure 12 to 18 hours before planned surgery; 2) Post-operative day 1, 12 to 24 hours after surgery; 3) 48 hours after surgery; 4) 72 hours after surgery; 5) At discharge (estimated to be between 5-8 days after surgery); and 6) At the 6-month follow-up visit (post-surgery). Plasma levels of 25(OH) vitamin D will be measured on each sample.


Clinical Trial Description

Each patient who is admitted for preoperative preparation for elective open heart surgery at Intermountain Medical Center will be invited to participate in this study. The patient's history and medical records will be reviewed and data gathered will be used to evaluate the patient's relationship to inclusion and exclusion criteria. After a written informed consent is obtained, subjects will be randomized 1:1 to the treatment arm or placebo/control arm. Those randomized to the treatment arm will receive three 50,000 unit oral doses of vitamin D3 supplementation. The first dose will be given the evening before surgery. The second and third doses will be given either orally or per NG tube on the mornings of post-op days 1 and 2. Approximately 15-20 ml (about one tablespoon) of blood will be obtained at the following time periods (+/- 4 hours): 1) At baseline pre-procedure 12 to 18 hours before planned surgery; 2) Post-operative day 1, 12 to 24 hours after surgery; 3) 48 hours after surgery; 4) 72 hours after surgery; 5) At discharge (estimated to be between 5-8 days after surgery); and 6) At the 6-month follow-up visit (post-surgery). Each blood sample will be transported to The Center for Molecular and Genetic Research at LDS Hospital Cardiovascular Genetics Laboratory for preparation and storage. Plasma levels of 25(OH) vitamin D will be measured on each sample. ;
