40年来对高同型半胱氨酸血症和心血管疾病之间联系的研究已经走到了十字路口。一些关于降低同型半胱氨酸的B族维生素治疗在降低动脉粥样硬化血栓形成性心血管疾病风险中的作用的负面研究已经抑制了对这一重要研究领域的热情。在这篇综述中,我们评估了同型半胱氨酸研究的现状,并提出了潜在的途径,这将有助于澄清血浆同型半胱氨酸水平和心血管风险之间的联系。我们解决了各种基础,流行病学和临床研究的结果所提出的几个问题,并试图构建一个框架,我们相信这将使我们能够解决这个有争议的领域,特别是冠状动脉血管疾病和心力衰竭的风险的基本未解决的问题。这篇综述应该允许研究人员将这个复杂的领域解构为单独的领域,当这些领域得到充分解决时,可能会导致阐明高同型半胱氨酸血症和心血管疾病之间的整体联系的发现,并允许设计适当的临床试验。
Four decades of research on the link between hyperhomocysteinemia and cardiovascular disease has led to a crossroads. Several negative studies on the role of homocysteine-lowering B-vitamin therapy in reducing the risk of atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease have dampened enthusiasm for this important field of research. In this review, we assess the present state of homocysteine research and suggest potential avenues that would help to clarify the purported link between the plasma homocysteine level and cardiovascular risk. We address several questions raised by the findings of various basic, epidemiological and clinical studies and attempt to construct a framework that we believe will allow us to address the fundamental unresolved issues in this controversial area, specifically focusing on the risk of coronary vascular disease and cardiac failure. This review should allow researchers to deconstruct this complex field into separate areas that, when addressed adequately, may lead to findings that elucidate the overall link between hyperhomocysteinemia and cardiovascular disease and allow the design of appropriate clinical trials.
