Association between homocysteinemia and metabolic syndrome in patients with cardiovascular disease
Abstract BACKGROUND: This is an observational study undertaken in aim to evaluate the association between metabolic syndrome (MS) and high homocysteinemia (HHcy) in relation with cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS: The study involved 126 subjects with angiographically documented CVD and 65 healthy subjects. MS has been diagnosed according to the ATP III criteria and plasma homocysteine concentration has been evaluated. RESULTS: In patients with CVD the prevalence of MS and HHcy is 17.4% and 25.4% respectively; MS coexists with HHcy in 67.2% of patients; analogous results can be observed among men and women. HHcy and MS are associated with CVD (OR 2.53, 95% CI 1.95-12.43 and OR 5.74, 95% …
Effect of vitamin supplementation on hyperhomocysteinemia and cardiovascular risk reduction
Homocysteine is a sulfur-containing aminoacid produced during methionine metabolism. Since 1969 the relationship between altered homocysteine metabolism and both coronary and peripheral atherotrombosis has been known; in recent years, experimental evidence has shown that elevated plasma concentrations of homocysteine are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular ischemic events. Several mechanisms by which elevated homocysteine concentrations impair vascular function have been proposed, including impairment of endothelial function, production of reactive oxygen species and consequent oxidation of low-density lipoproteins. Folate and B vitamins, required for rem…
