| Abstract: | Plasma homocysteine is a risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke, extracranial carotid arterial disease, peripheral arterial disease, and aortic atherosclerosis in older persons. Randomized trials are in progress investigating whether multivitamin therapy to decrease plasma homocysteine levels will reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease. |
