Homocysteine is considered to be an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Once arteriosclerosis occurs, it occurs in the blood vessels of the heart, and it will manifest as coronary atherosclerosis. In severe cases, it will manifest as coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, that is, coronary heart disease, which can cause angina or myocardial infarction. If the cerebral arteries are sclerotic, it can be manifested as cerebral infarction, hypertension, or cerebral ischemia or hypoxia. Other tissues, including renal arteries, can also exhibit arteriosclerosis.
