The relations between proinflammatory and atherogenic markers and vessels remodeling in patients with hypertensive disease

Abstract

The article presents clinical data that shows the relationship between proinflammatory markers (IL-22) and atherogenic markers (indices of lipid spectrum) in the formation of structural and functional changes in the carotid arteries, which can be considered as early subclinical markers of atherosclerotic vascular damage in the cohort of patients with comorbidity of hypertension and obesity. Such a combined pathology can be considered a trigger of metabolic events adversely affecting the lipid profile and directing these patients to a high cardiometabolic risk group.
