First, heart failure is the most common cause of hospitalization among older individuals, accounting for more than a million a year.
Evidence-based health screening has been introduced for the early detection of common ailments, such as cancer, heart disease, hypertension and diabetes mellitus.
These data are intriguing, but because low vitamin D levels and heart disease are both very common, and because this was not an interventional study, it is difficult to draw firm conclusions, other than more research is probably warranted.
Make them common, by digging them out of the heart of a shattered planet, and they will become cheap.
