Systematic Review: Vitamin D and Calcium Supplementation in Prevention of Cardiovascular Events
TL;DR: Evidence from limited data suggests that vitamin D supplements at moderate to high doses may reduce CVD risk, whereas calcium supplements seem to have minimal cardiovascular effects.

Dietary Intake of Dairy Products, Calcium, and Vitamin D and the Risk of Hypertension in Middle-Aged and Older Women
TL;DR: It is found that intakes of low-fat dairy products, calcium, and vitamin D were each inversely associated with risk of hypertension in middle-aged and older women, suggesting their potential roles in the primary prevention of hypertension and cardiovascular complications.

Fibrin fragment D-dimer and the risk of future venous thrombosis.
Mary Cushman,Aaron R. Folsom,Lu Wang,Nena Aleksic,Wayne D. Rosamond,Russell P. Tracy,Susan R. Heckbert +6 more
TL;DR: For instance, the authors found that D-dimer concentration rises more than 100-fold during acute deep vein thrombosis, but there are no prospective data concerning D-Dimer as a risk factor for incident venous thromboembolus in a general population.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that along with the FADS gene cluster, additional genes may influence n6 PUFA composition.

Plasma fatty acid composition and incidence of coronary heart disease in middle aged adults: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study
TL;DR: The study found a weak positive association of SFAs with incident CHD and confirms that FA metabolism in the body, such as the activity of delta-5 desaturase, which converts dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid to arachidonic acid, may affect the development of CHD.
