Association of Homocysteine with Arterial Stiffness and Kidney Injury Biomarkers in Patients with Suspected Coronary Artery Disease
Abstract
Background: Hyperhomocysteinemia (homocysteine [Hcy] ≥15 μmol/L) is frequently observed in patients with impaired kidney function and has been associated with vascular remodeling and increased cardiovascular risk. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between Hcy, arterial stiffness, coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral arterial disease, and biomarkers of kidney injury in patients undergoing elective coronary angiography. Methods: In this prospective observational study, 133 patients undergoing elective coronary angiography were stratified according to serum Hcy levels (Hcy
