Endothelial function and hemostasis

Zeitschrift für Kardiologie, 2000
The vascular endothelium influences not only the three classically interacting components of hemostasis: the vessel, the blood platelets and the clotting and fibrinolytic systems of plasma, but also the natural sequelae: inflammation and tissue repair.

HDL and Endothelial Function

2022
Plasmid high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a critical biomarker in predicting cardiovascular diseases. Endothelial cells are physically located in the intima of blood vessels, which directly contact with circulating substances. Numerous previous studies have demonstrated that HDL exert protective effects on maintaining endothelial integrity and enhance ...

Smoking and endothelial function

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2003
The arterial endothelium is a vital homeostatic cell layer responsible for a variety of functions such as thromboresistance, control of vessel tone, and vessel growth. Recent evidence has indicated that both active and passive cigarette smoking are associated with dysfunction of normal endothelial physiology, in a dose dependent and potentially ...

Endothelial function and atherosclerosis

Coronary Artery Disease, 1999
Under normal conditions, the vascular endothelium exerts vasodilator, antithrombotic, and growth-inhibiting effects on the vessel wall. In the setting of atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction contributes to vasoconstriction, thrombosis, and growth of vascular smooth muscle. This article reviews the important contributors to endothelial function both

Endothelial function and hypertension

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2007
Endothelial dysfunction, in particular a reduced vascular availability of endothelium-derived nitric oxide, has been analysed in numerous experimental and clinical studies as a potential mechanism mediating the adverse vascular effects of hypertension.

Protection of Endothelial Function

2005
The vascular endothelium synthesizes and releases a spectrum of vasoactive substances and therefore plays a fundamental role in the basal and dynamic regulation of the circulation. Nitric oxide (NO)--originally described as endothelium-derived relaxing factor--is released from endothelial cells in response to shear stress produced by blood flow, and in

Endothelial Function

Drugs, 1997
The endothelium is involved in both the physiological regulation of vascular tone and the structural transformation of the vessel under pathological conditions. Under physiological conditions, endothelial cells continuously secrete nitric oxide (NO), which relaxes smooth muscle cells and ensures vessel patency.

Measuring endothelial function

Current Diabetes Reports, 2006
Dysfunction of the endothelium and of the arterial wall is well described in patients with atherosclerosis, diabetes, and other risk factors for vascular disease. In recent years, clinical research has focused on elucidating the role of this dysfunction in influencing vascular disease progression.

Endothelial functions in Behçet’s disease

Rheumatology International, 2005
Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis, capable of involving all types of vessels. Endothelial dysfunction (ED) has been previously documented in BD. The aim of the study was to see whether ED was more prominent in Behçet's patients with vascular involvement (VI) than in those without.

Endothelial function testing

2006
It has been shown that the presence of well-preserved brachial artery vasoreactivity predicts the absence of coronary artery disease. The recent findings that coronary endothelial dysfunction is associated with an increased risk of stroke or transient ischemic attack in middle-aged patients without coronary artery disease support the concept that ...
