Since the publication of this paper, the publisher has noticed an error.

The abbreviation HTH is the shortened form of ‘hypertension with hyperhomocysteinemia’ instead of ‘hyperhomocysteinemia’. In Introduction section, first and second paragraph text used this abbreviation incorrectly. This has been rectified and the corrected article appears in the issue together with this erratum.

We would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
