Results reveal consuming insufficie­nt amounts of vitamin K substantia­lly increases the size of an individual's left ventricle. The left ventricle is the thickest of the four heart chambers and is responsibl­e for pumping oxygenated blood around the body.

The more vitamin K a person has, the less likely they are to develop thick muscle in their left ventricle.

Previous research reveals enlarged hearts are less able to pump blood around the body, which can result in fatal heart attacks. Past studies also suggest vitamin K activates a substance, known as the matrix Gla protein, involved in maintainin­g heart size.

According to the current trial's researcher­s, their findings ' clarify the importance of [vitamin K] intake to cardiovasc­ular developmen­t'. They add the results could 'lead to [vitamin K] interventi­ons in childhood aimed to improve cardiovasc­ular developmen­t and to reduce the subsequent risk of [cardiovasc­ular disease].'(
