- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: comparison of progression of coronary and valvular calcification scores under Vitamin K supplementation as compared to a control group without supplementation;Secondary Objective: decrease of level of carboxylation under vitamin K supplementation of the following:<br>ratio ucMGP/cMGP after 1 week, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months<br>decrease of level of carboxylation under vitamin K supplementation for<br>the ratio ucMGP/cMGP after 1 week, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months as compared to the non-supplemented control group<br>comparison of progression of diastolic and systolic dysfunction of the treatment group as compared to the control group using echocardiography and speckle tracking based MRI;Primary end point(s): comparison of increase of calcification scores of treatment groups and control group<br>decrease of ucMGP/cMGP ratio under vitamin K supplementation within each treatment and control group;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Last visit last subject (LVLS)
