Correlation between Serum Homocysteine Levels and Serum Vitamin B12 Levels in First Time Acute MI Patients with Relative Lack of Conventional Risk Factors in North Indian (Rural) Population
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Indian patients have higher incidence of cardiac diseases inspite of the conventional risk factors comparable to western counterpart. The increased excess cardiac risk in Indians as compared to western population remains unexplained. Low serum vitamin B 12 and high serum homocysteine levels are known predictors of cardiovascular mortality and are highly frequent in Indians .Our present study was taken to ascertain whether these two factors are responsible for excess cardiac risk in indians.
