Clinical implication of homocysteine in premature acute coronary syndrome female patients: Its distribution and association with clinical characteristics and major adverse cardiovascular events risk.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Homocysteine (Hcy) is a risk factor for the presence of atherosclerotic vascular disease and hypercoagulability states, which is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events in cardiovascular disease patients. Whereas the role of Hcy in premature acute coronary syndrome (ACS) female patients is still obscure. Hence, we aimed to explore the relationship of Hcy with clinical features, and more importantly, to probe its predictive value for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) risk in premature ACS female patients.By retrospectively reviewing the medical charts of 1441 premature ACS female patients, we collected patients' Hcy level (at diagnosis) and other clinical data. According to the follow-up records, the accumulating MACE occurrence was calculated.Hcy p
