Vasoprotective

Vasoprotective agents are substances that protect the walls of blood vessels from damage or improve the functioning of the vascular system. They are used to treat conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, and stroke. Vasoprotective agents can be either natural or synthetic. Natural vasoprotective agents include vitamins, minerals, herbs, and foods that are rich in antioxidants. Synthetic vasoprotective agents include medications such as ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and calcium channel blockers. These synthetic medications work by blocking certain hormones or chemicals that cause the blood vessels to constrict, thus allowing the vessels to relax and widen. This helps to reduce blood pressure and improve circulation. Additionally, these medications can also help to reduce inflammation and the risk of clot formation. Vasoprotective agents can also help to reduce the risk of complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure.
