vasodilatorische
Vasodilatorische refers to properties or effects that cause vasodilation, the widening of blood vessels. This broad concept includes agents and physiological mechanisms that increase the diameter of arteries and arterioles, thereby reducing vascular resistance and often improving tissue perfusion.
Mechanisms of vasodilation can be endothelium-dependent or endothelium-independent. Endothelium-dependent pathways involve receptors and signaling molecules produced
Pharmacologically, vasodilators encompass several classes. Nitrates (eg, nitroglycerin) donate NO to cause rapid dilation, while hydralazine
Clinical use and considerations: vasodilators are used to treat hypertension, angina, heart failure, and pulmonary arterial
