Relationship between total homocysteine levels and folate concentrations in the serum of patients with myocardial infarction

الملخص EN

Objectives: To determine relationship between the levels of serum total homocysteine and folate in patients with myocardial infarction. Design and methods: The serum total homocysteine level was measured using gas chromatography.

Serum folate was determined by competitive immunoassay using direct chemiluminescence on the ACS 180 Analyzer. Results and conclusions: Serum total homocysteine levels were significantly and negatively correlated with fotale in the patinets with myocardial infarction
