So far, none of the B-vitamin intervention trials have shown any statistically significant favourable effect of homocysteine-lowering therapy with folic acid with or without concomitant vitamin B12 on cardiovascular events {Bazzano, 2006}. In NORVIT there was even a trend towards an increased risk of cardiovascular events (myocardial infarctions) in patients receiving the combination of folic acid, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6. This trend was not observed in WENBIT. However, the treatment with folic acid / B12 was associated With a more rapid progression of angiographic coronary atenoses {Løland, 2010}. Thus, the "homocysteine-hypothesis" of vascular disease has been attenuated through the emergence of these negative trial results, whereas a potential harmful effect of the B-vitamin intervention has been revealed.
