Homocysteine and coronary atherosclerosis
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1996 Homocysteine is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for coronary artery disease. An understanding of its metabolism and of the importance of vitamins B6 and B12 and folate as well as enzyme levels in its regulation will aid the development of therapeutic strategies that, by lowering circulating concentrations, may also lower risk.

Is there a role for thoracic aortic calcium to fine-tune cardiovascular risk prediction? [PDF]
, 2012 Screening asymptomatic subjects to streamline measures for the prevention of cardiovascular events remains a major challenge. The established primary prevention risk-scoring methods use equations derived from large prospective cohort studies, but further

A prospective natural-history study of coronary atherosclerosis.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2011 BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic plaques that lead to acute coronary syndromes often occur at sites of angiographically mild coronary-artery stenosis. Lesion-related risk factors for such events are poorly understood.
