| pubmed-article:8643214 | pubmed:abstractText | A recent study found that hyperhomocysteinemia is associated with an increased risk of extracranial carotid artery stenosis, while another study demonstrated that hyperhomocysteinemia is a common risk factor for recurrent venous thrombosis. It seems as if an elevated circulating homocysteine is atherogenic as well as thrombogenic, possibly indicating extensive involvement of homocysteine in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease. | lld:pubmed |
