Abstract
Introduction
Indian patients have higher incidence of cardiac diseases inspite of the conventional risk factors comparable to western counterpart. The increased excess cardiac risk in Indians as compared to western population remains unexplained. Low serum vitamin B 12 and high serum homocysteine levels are known predictors of cardiovascular mortality and are highly frequent in Indians .Our present study was taken to ascertain whether these two factors are responsible for excess cardiac risk in indians.
