Plasma total homocysteine and risk of angina pectoris with subsequent coronary artery bypass surgery.
In the Physicians' Health Study, we prospectively investigated the relation between plasma total homocysteine levels and risk of angina pectoris leading to coronary artery bypass surgery, among 149 case control pairs, matched for age and smoking. Plasma total homocysteine was unrelated to risk of disease overall as well as within the strata of major coronary risk factors.
