Research progress on the correlation between homocysteine and atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation(AF)is one of the most common arrhythmias worldwide and has a signifi-cant impact on population health.Homocysteine(Hcy)is an amino acid containing a thiol group,which is an intermediate product in the metabolism of methionine and cysteine.In recent years,increasing evidence has shown a close relationship between Hcy and AF,and Hey plays an important role in the occurrence,develop-ment,prognosis,and recurrence of AF.The article reviews the epidemiology and pathogenesis of Hey and AF,as well as their relationship.
