Homocysteine predicts vascular target organ damage in hypertension and may serve as guidance for first‐line antihypertensive therapy

Homocysteine predicts vascular target organ damage in hypertension and may serve as guidance for first‐line antihypertensive therapy

Abstract Homocysteine is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease and has been proposed to contribute to vascular dysfunction. We sought to determine in a real‐world clinical setting whether homocysteine levels were associated with hypertension mediated organ damage...
