[Mild hyperhomocysteinemia, low folate levels and prognosis of acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation].

Background And Objective: The influence of homocysteine metabolism on the prognosis of acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation is controversial.

Patients And Method: Prospective study of 109 patients admitted because of acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation. Basal plasmatic levels of homocysteine and folates were obtained.

Influence of high homocysteine and low folate plasmatic levels in medium-term prognosis after acute coronary syndromes.

Background: To test prospectively whether moderate hyperhomocysteinemia and low folate levels could have an influence in the prognosis of 155 patients who presented with an acute coronary syndrome.

Methods And Results: After a mean follow-up of 13.4+/-7.
