Total homocysteine is a non-protein amino acid that is produced during the metabolism of methionine, an essential amino acid found in many proteins. Elevated levels of tHcy have been identified as a risk factor for several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease. In this article, we will discuss the relationship between tHcy and CVD, and the mechanisms by which elevated tHcy levels may contribute to the development and progression of CVD. Elevated tHcy levels have been associated with an increased risk of CVD, but the exact mechanisms by which tHcy contributes to CVD are not yet fully understood. Several mechanisms have been proposed.
