Implication

May support endothelial-targeted strategies in pediatric hypertension; hypothesis-generating, requiring prospective trials before clinical adoption.

Key Points

To examine how endothelial dysfunction and impaired nitric oxide bioavailability initiate and sustain arterial hypertension across patient populations.
Narrative synthesis of cellular and physiological mechanisms linking vascular endothelial damage to high blood pressure.
Evaluation of molecular mediators including oxidative stress, inflammatory pathways, and vascular tone regulators.
Oxidative stress and inflammation switch endothelial function from protective to vasoconstrictive, prothrombotic, and pro-apoptotic states.
Reduced nitric oxide bioavailability serves as a central pathological driver of vascular resistance and elevated blood pressure.
Structural and functional diagnostic tools provide avenues to incorporate endothelial repair into treatment strategies for pediatric hypertension.
