Abstract EN
There are several invasive and noninvasive methods available to the clinical researcher for the assessment of endothelial function.
The first investigations in humans involved invasive pharmacological vascular function testing, which have been used to gain a detailed understanding of the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis as well as novel targets for intervention.
Techniques for endothelial function testing have evolved over time from these invasive methods, which, by their nature, are restricted to small studies in the research laboratory, to more standardized noninvasive methods, which are suitable for use in large prospective cohort studies and clinical trials.
This paper describes currently available methods for assessment of endothelial function and their potential application in cardiovascular research and clinical practice.
