Homocysteine: an emergent cardiovascular risk factor?
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality and disability in the western world. In the last years, the accumulation of evidence coming from both retrospective and prospective clinical studies has led to an increased interest in the potential role of mild hyperhomocysteinemia as a major, independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The present paper reviews the position of h...

متن کاملHomocysteine and Cardiovascular Risk
Several scoring systems, based on traditional risk factors, are available for the 10-year quantification of cardiovascular (CV) risk for either coronary heart disease (CHD) or cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. Assessing CV risk is useful to identify patients requiring aggressive management (i.e., high risk) or monitoring (i.e., low risk) or those at intermediate risk. The last group presents...
متن کاملHomocysteine: cardiovascular risk factor in children and adolescents?
The aim of this study was to identify publications in literature that investigated Homocysteine (He) as a risk factor for CVD among children and adolescents. An active search for information in LILACS, IBECS, Science Direct, Medline and Cochrane Library databases was conducted using the following combination of keywords "homocysteine", "cardiovascular diseases", "child" and "adolescent". Fiftee...
متن کاملHomocysteine, Iron and Cardiovascular Disease: A Hypothesis
Elevated circulating total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations (hyperhomocysteinemia) have been regarded as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, several large clinical trials to correct hyperhomocysteinemia using B-vitamin supplements (particularly folic acid) have largely failed to reduce the risk of CVD. There is no doubt that a large segment of patients with C...
