    Treatments

    Studied treatment supplementation with natural foLate, vitamin B6 and B12
    5-methyl-THF (560 �g), vitamin B6 (3 mg) and B12 (20 �g)
    Control treatment placebo
    Remarks factorial design with as 2nd comparison omega 3 fatty acids (600 mg of eicosapentanoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid at a ratio of 2:1) versus placebo

    Patients

    Patients patients with coronary or cerebral event within the previous 12 months
    Exclusion criteria Age <45 years or >80 years; Cardiovascular pathology not well defined; Patients that are incapable of understanding the study protocol; Patients with a pathology that might interfere with homocysteine or omega-3 fatty acid metabolism, in particular those that use methotrexate for the treatment of a cancer or rheumatoid arthritis and chronic renal failure (plasma level of creatinine >200 �mol/l or creatinine clearance <40 ml/min); Patients with a non-cardiovascular pathology with a suspected survival time less than the 5 years period of the study (solid cancer, evolved dementia, leukemia etc.)
