Research progress on traditional Chinese medicine in prevention and treatment of vascular endothelial dysfunction
Vascular endothelial dysfunction is a pathological state characterized by a decline in endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation function due to impaired synthesis and release of active substances that regulate endothelial normal function. It is considered a key risk factor for the onset and progression of coronary artery atherosclerosis,hypertension,and vascular lesions in type 2 diabetes mellitus. This article reviews the understanding of endothelial dysfunction in both Western and traditional Chinese medicine,as well as the current research status of single herbs and compound formulas in treating endothelial dysfunction. The aim is to explore the effectiveness and mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in treating endothelial dysfunction.
