The clinical significance of endothelial dysfunction
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Endothelial dysfunction is thought to play a pivotal role in the development, progression, and clinical complications of atherosclerosis. Several recent studies have addressed the clinical implications of endothelial dysfunction for cardiovascular events, atherosclerosis, restenosis, and heart failure. Novel findings with respect to endothelial progenitor cells and their alteration by cardiovascular risk factors are characterized and potential therapeutic interventions to improve endothelial and endothelial progenitor cell function are discussed. RECENT FINDINGS: Over the past 5 years evidence has accumulated from clinical studies for a close association of the degree of endothelial dysfunction and clinical cardiovascular events in patients with cardiovascular risk factors, coronary disease, acute coronary syndrome, or heart failure. Understanding of the mechanisms leading to endothelial dysfunction has improved, including the notion that dysfunctional endothelial nitric oxide synthase, in part due to deficiency of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin, likely plays an important role. Major progress has been made in understanding the role of endothelial progenitor cells, which likely contribute to both ischemia-induced neovascularization and endothelial regeneration after injury. Endothelial progenitor cell function is altered in patients with cardiovascular risk factors. SUMMARY: Recent research on endothelial and endothelial progenitor cell dysfunction supports their clinical significance and has led to important insights in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease and at the same time provides an important opportunity to develop novel therapeutic approaches. Endothelial function represents a valuable surrogate endpoint to assess the impact of therapeutic interventions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
