The review states that there are current approaches to the clinical assessment of endothelial cell dysfunction and promising directions for early detection and treatment.
Cellular and molecular mechanisms of endothelial cell dysfunction have pivotal roles in atherosclerotic lesion initiation and progression.
Endothelial cell dysfunction includes nonadaptive alterations in functional phenotype affecting hemostasis and thrombosis, vascular tone and redox balance, and acute and chronic inflammatory reactions within the arterial wall.
Endothelial cell dysfunction is an important contributor to the pathobiology of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
