Relation between homocysteine-to-adropin ratio and severity of coronary artery disease

Purpose: This study aimed to uncover if homocysteine (Hcy) adropin balance expressed by homocysteine/adropin ratio (HAR) is related to severity of disease in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Materials & Methods: The present cross-sectional study 50 consecutive patients with low/intermediate CAD severity and other 50 patients with severe CAD. Hcy and adropin levels were assessed using commercially available kits. Results: Patients with low/moderate severity CAD expressed significantly lower HAR. According to HAR, all patients were classified into those with low HAR (
