Vitamin D is also known to play a role in the reninangiotensin-aldosterone system [1] and in inflammation [2] and is produced by vascular endothelial cells [3] . It is, therefore, a strong hypothesis that plasma vitamin D levels influence cardiovascular factors in terms of blood pressure, vascular function and cardiovascular risk. In this issue of Pulse , Veloudi et al. [4] provide a qualitative review of a selection of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) concerning the effect of vitamin D supplementation on blood pressure and measures of arterial stiffness. They also include a descriptive review of some studies concerning cardiovascular outcomes of low serum levels of vitamin D. The article presents a graphical representation of sample size and study duration of 36 studies investigating peripheral blood pressure and 9 studies investigating arterial stiffness. In so doing, the article highlights that very few of these studies show a beneficial effect of vitamin D supplementation. The graphical presentation of the data also allows a visual representation of the previous finding, demonstrated statistically, that there is no relationship between an increased dose of vitamin D supplement and beneficial cardiovascular effect [5] . The effect of vitamin D supplementation on cardiovascular factors is of great clinical interest, demonstrated by the number of studies identified in meta-analyses in recent years. This year alone, quantitative meta-analyses of arterial stiffness outcomes have been published by Upala et al. [6] and Rodríguez et al. [7] summarising 7 and 18 RCTs, respectively. A recent quantitative meta-analysis on peripheral blood pressure outcomes identified 46 independent vitamin D supplementation trials [5] . These quantitative studies, although not included in the review by Veloudi et al. [4] , support the same conclusion which Veloudi et al. [4] make from a qualitative review of RCTs, namely that vitamin D supplementation has no effect on arterial stiffness or blood pressure. However, Rodríguez et al.

Many longitudinal studies have found that arterial stiffness measurement among hypertensive patients, diabetic patients, healthy elderly, and people with high cardiovascular (CV) risk will better evaluate arterial health and predict CV events. European guidance for arterial stiffness measurements described in the European consensus document (2006) [3] , the publication of the international reference standards (2010) [4] and the American Heart Association (AHA) scientific statement on arterial stiffness measurements in the USA (2015) have standardized arterial measurement [5] , and thus arterial stiffness measurements have been more widely used in clinical settings. The question now is which measurement of arterial stiffness is more accurate to precisely predict future CV events. Most of the guidelines designated aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV; carotid-femoral PWV) as the golden standard (especially in the Western society) [6] , but in Japan, where arterial stiffness is the most widely used and where they achieved a great amount of data on brachial-ankle PWV and cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) [7] , studies found a relationship between organ damage and future CV events. Townsend’s [8] brief review on recommendations and standardization of PWV measurements also justified its clinical and scholarly use. The articles from Korea [9] and Thailand [10] describe CV risk factors and outcomes using the CAVI. The modified RAMA-EGAT score from Thailand combined the conventional risk prevention model with arterial function. It would be helpful to have ageand genderstratified values of the CAVI in healthy Koreans and in high-risk patients of a metabolically risky condition. The study from Thailand developed its own risk prediction model called the RAMA-EGAT score, which proved to be accurate in the prediction of CV risk in patients with intermediate atherosclerotic risk factors in the Thai population [11] , and a further modification of the RAMA-EGAT score with the CAVI enhanced its accuracy. Now they are conducting a long-term prognosis study in patients with diverse risk conditions.
