In general, endothelial dysfunction can be treated. Treatments include life style modifications, certain medications such as Statins or vasodilators (of the ACE-Inhibitor or ARB families) which can improve or even reverse endothelial dysfunction. There are several new lines of drugs investigated by Pharma companies to treat endothelial dysfunction and its underlying causes

What is the link between endothelial dysfunction and heart disease?
Endothelial dysfunction is associated with most cardiovascular diseases, especially coronary artery disease, which can lead to a heart attack. Endothelial dysfunction is considered to be an early marker of coronary artery disease as it usually precedes it decades before any signs or symptoms appear. In fact, many investigators in the cardiovascular field view endothelial dysfunction as the disease whose clinical manifestation is cardiovascular disease.
What is endothelial dysfunction?
Endothelial dysfunction is a process in which the endothelium secretes substances that promote atherosclerotic plaque build-up rather than the protective substances that prevent this build-up. It is the earliest detectable stage of cardiovascular disease. The good news is that this condition is treateble and even reversible.
What pathologies are associated with endothelial cell dysfunction?
Thrombosis, atherosclerosis, and hypertensive vascular lesions.
What is the prognosis for people suffering from autonomic dysfunction?
The prognosis for persons suffering autonomic dysfunction is variable and depends on specific dysfunction and on the severity of the dysfunction. Autonomic dysfunctions can present as acute and reversible syndromes.
