Development of Heart Failure (HF) associates with
endothelial dysfunction that considered a key cause for
tissue injury, and target organ damage. Endothelial
Microparticles (EMPs) are small membrane vesicles that
originate from activated or apoptotic endothelial cells and
play a pivotal role in cell-to-cell communication, cellular
fusion, and transport of biological active molecules. EMPs
contribute in different types of biological effects depending
on their origin. EMPs derived from activated endothelial
cells may mediate tissue and vascular repair; induce
angiogenesis, neovascularization, and cell differentiation.
EMPs originated from apoptotic particles support
inflammation,
oxidative
injury,
reprogramming,
intercellular communication of the target cells. Balance
between both phenotypes of microparticles in circulation is
frequently mediated by HF stage, aging, as well as
comorbidity states. The review is depicted the role of
several phenotypes of EMPs in realize of comorbidity state
effects on endothelial function among HF patients.
