Endothelial apoptosis refers to the programmed cell death of endothelial cells, which line blood vessels. This process is crucial in maintaining vascular homeostasis, and its dysregulation can contribute to various cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and hypertension. For instance, increased endothelial apoptosis can lead to impaired vascular function and promote plaque instability, heightening the risk of acute coronary events.
