Abstract
This manuscript reviews the relationship between endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis, focusing on the underlying mechanisms, clinical implications, and current therapeutic strategies. Endothelial dysfunction is a key early event in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, leading to the development of cardiovascular diseases. We discuss the pathophysiology of endothelial dysfunction, its role in atherosclerosis, and evaluate both current and emerging treatment options.
