Abstract
In hypertension, endothelial dysfunction was associated with the progression of arterial stiffness, although the reverse association was not confirmed. The increased arterial stiffness rather than endothelial dysfunction may be more closely associated with the progression of atherosclerotic vascular damage, and the endothelial dysfunction-arterial stiffness-atherosclerosis continuum may be important in hypertension.
