Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: We investigated the influence of elevated homocysteine plasma levels and 2 polymorphisms, 677C/T and 1298A/C, of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene on the risk of restenosis after stenting in patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease. METHODS AND RESULTS: Homocysteine levels and MTHFR genotypes were determined in 800 consecutive patients treated with coronary artery stenting. Angiographic restenosis (> or =50% diameter stenosis at 6-month follow-up) was prese...     »
