Glossary Endothelial Function

cells lining blood vessels regulate blood flow and pressure

Endothelial function refers to how well the endothelium, the thin layer of cells lining the blood vessels, works. It plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow, blood pressure, and the formation of new blood vessels. Healthy endothelial function is essential for cardiovascular health, while dysfunction can lead to conditions like atherosclerosis and hypertension.
