title: [Remodelling of peripheral vessels in cardiovascular diseases: pathogenesis and treatment with telmisartan].
abstract: The authors present remodelling mechanisms of distal peripheral vessels in vibration disease, caused by endothelium functions disorder (lower NO, increased endothelin-1 and Villebrandt factor), stressed oxidative metabolism in neutrophils, intensified lipid peroxidation, depressed antioxidant defence, activated anti-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-1beta) and hyperhomocysteinemia. Degree of the changes increases with combination of vibration disease and arterial hypertension. The data justify application of Telmisartan improving functional state of endothelium.
