RELATIONSHIP OF HYPERHOMOCYSTEINEMIA WITH CORONARY HEART DISEASE AND DIABETES MELLITUS

The incidence of cardiovascular diseases in patients who suffer from diabetes mellitus is higher than in average population, and the prognosis of life in patients with coronary heart disease in combination with diabetes mellitus is worse than the prognosis in patients without diabetes mellitus. The objective of this review was to study the pathogenetic and clinical features of hyperhomocysteinemia in patients with diabetes and coronary heart disease. Thus, during the study of scientific articles we identified the negative impact of hyperhomocysteinemia on coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus. The search of missing links of the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease and diabetes is an urgent task. There is some evidence of a new metabolic risk factor of cardiovascular complications of diabetes mellitus ? hyperhomocysteinemia.
