Elevated Homocysteine and Carotid Plaque Area and Densitometry in the Northern Manhattan Study (NOMAS)

摘要

Background and purposeStudies have linked elevated homocysteine (tHcy) levels to atherosclerotic carotid plaque development, but data are limited to predominantly white populations. We examined the association between tHcy and carotid plaque burden and morphology in a multi-ethnic cohort.
