Abstract:

Accumulating evidence suggests that endothelial dysfunction is an initiating event in the etiology of arteriosclerosis. This article reviewed the relationship between endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis, and the effects of therapeutic drugs especially statins on endothelial dysfunction.
