Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the extent of the association between
hyperhomocysteinaemia and chronic ischaemic heart disease.
DESIGN: Unmatched, case-control (1:3) study.
SETTING: Pintores Health Centre, Area 10, Primary Care, Madrid, Spain.
PARTICIPANTS: Patients of the health centre over 35 with chronic ischaemic heart
disease or without it.
METHOD: Consecutive, non-randomized sample. Analysis of cases and controls with
chi2 test and odds ratio (OR). The quantitative variables were analysed with the
Student's t test.
RESULTS: The 76.32% (87/114) of cases had 2 or more cardiovascular risk factors
versus 33.56% (99/265) in the control group (P<.0001). Average homocysteinaemia
was 10.07 micromol/L (SD, 3.64) in the control group; and 12.74 (SD, 4.59) in the
cases group. The difference between the averages (2.67 micromol/L; 95% CI, 1.82-
3.52) was significant (P<.001). The difference (16.07%; 95% CI, 6.91-25.23) in
hyperhomocysteinaemia (> or =15 micromol/L) between cases (28.95%, 33/114) and
controls (12.88%, 38/295) was significant (P=.0001), with an association between
hyperhomocysteinaemia and chronic ischaemic heart disease (OR=2.76; 95% CI, 1.62-
4.68). This association increased (OR=3.26; 95% CI, 2.07-5.13) when
hyperhomocysteinaemia was taken as > or =12 micromol/L, with a significant
difference of 27% (95% CI, 16.59-37.41) (P<.0001) between cases (51.75%, 59/114)
and controls (24.75%, 73/295).
CONCLUSIONS: The risk factor of hyperhomocysteinaemia > or =15 micromol/L was
significantly associated (OR=2.76) with chronic ischaemic heart disease. This
association was greater (OR=3.26) when hyperhomocysteinaemia was taken as > or =12
micromol/L.
