Association of plasma homocysteine with the number of major coronary arteries severely narrowed

This cross-sectional study of 631 patients with 1,519 treated stenoses established that total plasma homocysteine, together with age and gender, is a strong predictor of the severity of coronary artery disease. Thus, total plasma homocysteine is an independent cardiovascular marker that should be as...

Zusammenfassung:	This cross-sectional study of 631 patients with 1,519 treated stenoses established that total plasma homocysteine, together with age and gender, is a strong predictor of the severity of coronary artery disease. Thus, total plasma homocysteine is an independent cardiovascular marker that should be assessed in the evaluation of a patient's cardiovascular risk profile.
