Homocysteine is not a cardiac enzyme program.
There are 6 main cardiac enzymes, including glutamate aminotransferase, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase isoenzyme, and alkaline phosphatase as well as alpha hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase. If testing is needed it needs to be done separately. Homocysteine is an intermediate amino acid formed during the conversion of methionine to cysteine. Elevated plasma homocysteine is common and is seen in 5-7% of individuals in the population. Mildly elevated homocysteine levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, venous thromboembolic disease, and obstetric complications. In experimental studies, homocysteine has been shown to be atherogenic and pro-thrombotic, suggesting that this may be one of the pathogenic mechanisms for these diseases.
