Abstract
Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Homocysteine (Hcy) can generate reactive oxygen species. Oxidative stress enhances the progression of cardiovascular diseases and has long been implicated in chronic heart failure (CHF). This study was to evaluate the predictive value of plasma Hcy levels in CHF patients and to investigate the relationship with other markers.
