    Summary

    Endothelial dysfunction plays a key role in hypertension and its complications. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) measures endothelial function and can predict cardiovascular events, aiding hypertension management.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Vascular Biology
    • Hypertension Research

    Context:

    • Endothelial dysfunction is implicated in hypertension development and organ damage.
    • Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery is a clinical marker for endothelial function.
    • Standardization challenges exist for FMD measurement, limiting established reference values.

    Purpose:

    • To explore the role of endothelial function in hypertension.
    • To evaluate the utility of FMD as a surrogate marker in hypertension management.
    • To discuss the impact of lifestyle modifications and medication on endothelial function.

    Summary:

    • Endothelial dysfunction is central to hypertension pathogenesis and prognosis.
    • While FMD measurement requires skilled sonographers and lacks standardization, it predicts cardiovascular events.
