Project Description

Homocysteine, vitamin B12 and folate have been associated with Cerebrovascular Accidents. A number of cross sectional, case controlled cohort studies have demonstrated an association between high homocysteine level and increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and there are equal numbers of studies that show no increase in risk, and there is still a debate as to the strength and validity of the association. This study was done with the objective to estimate the serum levels of vitamin B 12, folic acid and homocysteine in normal healthy controls and patients with stroke and to compare and correlate the values between these two groups.
