[Endothelial reactions to hypoxia].
In the last decade endothelium was shown to play an active role in regulating vascular homeostasis. This review focuses on the endothelial reactions during pathological condition of hypoxia. Cascade of events leading to endothelial activation/dysfunction during hypoxia is described and consequences of our expanded understanding of vascular biology for current clinical practice are summarised.
