Importance of biological markers in the assessment of endothelial dysfunction

Abstract

Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is a pathogenetic link in many cardio­vas­cular diseases. One of the promising approaches to non-invasi­ve diagnostics and assessment of the ED severity may be the deter­mi­nation of specific blood biomarkers. This review is devoted to the patho­genetic role of some biochemical and molecular factors associated with ED, as potential biomarkers of noncommunicable diseases.
