[ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION AND OBSTRUCTIVE LUNG PATHOLOGY]
Abstract:
Relationship of endothelial dysfunction and obstructive pulmonary diseases is a complex and poorly understood. Vascular endothelium is a multifunctional autonomous endocrine organ. The review discusses the various functions of the endothelium, causes, mechanisms and possible markers of endothelial dysfunction. The contribution of pulmonary vessel endothelial dysfunction in the initiation and progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma is considered. The existing approaches to the restoration of the structural and functional integrity of the vascular endothelium are discussed.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...
