A Study of Srum Homocysteine Level in Ischaemic Stoke

The Role of Vitamin Supplementation in the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease Events
ABSTRACT The production, sale, and consumption of multiple vitamins is a multibillion‐dollar industry. Most Americans take some form of supplement ostensibly for prevention of cardiovascular disease. It has been claimed that vitamin A retards atherogenesis. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and is thought to possibly decrease free radical‐induced endothelial injury, which can lead to atherosclerotic plaque formation. Vitamin E has been extensively studied for its possible effects on platelet function as well as inhibition of foam‐cell formation. Low levels of vitamin D have been thought to negatively impact myocardial stru...
