Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between serum homocysteine ( HCY) level and cardio/cerebrovascular disease. Methods Serum level of HCY in patients with cardio/cerebrovascular disease was determined by applying enzymatic cycling assay, and the test results were compared with those of 100 normal controls (healthy control group). Results The serum HCY level of cardio/ cerebrovascular disease group was significantly higher than that of healthy control group. Conclusion Hyperhomocysteine (HHCY) is a risk factor for cardio/cerebrovascular disease, and its level is increasing with severity of coronary heart disease (CHD). The types of cerebrovascular disease were not associated with serum level of HCY.
