    GlossaryEndothelial Dysfunction

    inner lining of blood vessels fails to regulate functions properly

    Endothelial dysfunction refers to a condition where the inner lining of blood vessels, known as the endothelium, does not function properly. This can lead to various cardiovascular problems because the endothelium plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow, blood clotting, and immune function. When it is impaired, it can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, hypertension, and other vascular diseases.
