Early Detection of Subclinical Atherosclerosis: Hyperhomocysteinemia as a Promising Marker in Adolescents With Vitamin B Deficiency
Cureus. 2023 Jul 8;15(7):e41571. doi: 10.7759/cureus.41571. eCollection 2023 Jul.ABSTRACTIn recent decades, the increased incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among young adults has raised concerns. Although clinical manifestations of CVD typically occur later in life, the underlying pathological processes emerge early on. This review article summarizes the association between vitamin B deficiency-induced hyperhomocysteinemia and subclinical atherosclerosis in adolescents. Numerous studies have demonstrated that elevated homocysteine levels are an independent risk factor for endothelial dysfunction (ED) and ...

Supplemental Vitamins and Minerals for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Treatment
The objective of this study is to explore the current literature supporting the use oral multivitamins and multi/minerals (OMVMs) for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) treatment and prevention.Recent FindingsData on multivitamins, vitamin C and D, coenzyme Q, calcium, and selenium, has showed no consistent benefit for the prevention of CVD, myocardial infarction, or stroke, nor was there a benefit for all-cause mortality to support their routine supplementation. Folic acid alone and B vitamins with folic acid, B6 and B12, reduce stroke, whereas niacin and antioxidants are associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortalit...
