Levels of endothelial substances in patients with newly identified hypertension compared with healthy controls
Introduction. Endothelial dysfunction occurs at the very beginning of hypertension. The primary goal of our study was to determine plasmatic levels of multiple endothelial substances in otherwise healthy patients with primary hypertension and compare them to healthy individuals. Secondary goals were...
