title: [Thyroid hormones and the function of the vascular endothelium].
abstract: Numerous clinical studies point towards connections between cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and disorders of the thyroid function. This does not only apply to clinically manifest functional disorders, but also to their subclinical stages. The present review discusses in detail some of the most important endothelial changes, open questions and future developments.
