Abstract:
The evidence from epidemiological and observational studies support that homocysteine is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke. Using folic acid and vitamins B to reduce homocysteine may effectively prevent ischemic stroke. However, the results of the vast majority of clinical trials are negative. This article analyzes them.
