Abstract

An overview of literature data concerning the interactions between hypertension and vascular endothelium is presented. Arterial hypertension is accompanied by morphological and functional changes of endothelium. The laboratory methods measuring endothelial damage are very useful tools in evaluation of endothelium state.
