Hyperhomocysteinemia in cardiovascular diseases: revisiting observational studies and clinical trials

In conclusion, revisiting observational studies and clinical trials suggests that cardiovascular patients should be screened for hyperhomocysteinemia, when no other risk factor is found. Patients with intermediate/major hyperhomocysteinemia should be properly assessed and treated for vitamin B deficiencies and inherited disorders according to current guidelines. Further trials are needed to assess the lowering homocysteine effect according to hyperhomocysteinemia categories at baseline.PMID:36170884 | DOI:10.1055/a-1952-1946
