Abstract:
Homocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfur-containing metabolic intermediate of methionine,which is normally at a lower level in the blood.Recent studies have shown that the elevated blood level of Hcy is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke and increases the risk of occurrence of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).This article reviews the relationship between Hcy and CSCD.
