Abstract: Calcium supplementation (without coadministered vitamin D) is associated with a small increase in risk of myocardial infarction
Bolland MJ, Avenell A, Baron JA, et al. Effect of calcium supplements on risk of myocardial infarction and cardiovascular events: meta-analysis. BMJ. 2010;341(jul29 1):c3691. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ pmc/articles/PMC2912459/pdf/bmj.c3691.pdf
This is a meta-analysis of 15 randomised, placebo controlled trials of calcium supplements (e”500 mg/day) with average follow up of 4 years. Analysis with patient level data (five trials) and trial level data (11 trials) show statistically significant increased risk of acute myocardial infarction (pooled relative risk about 1.3).
