Summary Background: Mild hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) has been shown to be
associated with impaired fibrinolysis, but some aspects of this association are unclear.
Objective: Using an in vitro model of physiological relevance, we investigated whether and
how HHcy influences plasma fibrinolytic potential. Patients/methods: We studied 176
patients with previous venous thromboembolism, 58 with HHcy, 118 with normal total
homocysteine (tHcy) levels (NHcy), at least 3 months after withdrawal of anticoagulant …
