Aim . Vitamin D deficiency has a high prevalence in the population and is highly associated with cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate subclinical left ventricular (LV) function using strain analysis healthy individuals vitamin deficiency. Material methods 113 volunteers were enrolled (age, 44.1±7 yrs, 34 male). All underwent two-dimensional (2D) three-dimensional (3D) speckle tracking echocardiography after conventional echocardiographic evaluation. subjects divided into two groups according their concentrations. 61 less than 20 ng / ml included group. baseline clinical characteristics, laboratory measurements, data, including 2D 3D global longitudinal (GLS) values, compared between groups. Results GLS values lower (mathematically negative) normal (–16.1±3.4 vs –19.3±4.2, p<0.001). Similarly, results (–18.3±5.2 –24.1±6.9, A significant correlation detected concentrations measurements. (r=0.765 r=0.628, respectively, found be an independent predictor impaired LV (p=0.031, p=0.023, respectively). Conclusion Subclinical dysfunction demonstrated by analysis. Due potential negative effects on cardiac function, more attention should paid
