Balance of vasodilator-associated and vasoconstrictor-associated signaling molecules is altered in hypertension. Damage to endothelial cells can lead to the development of hypertension and vice-versa. Further damage can result in release of pro-thrombotic factors leading to platelet adhesion and thrombosis, producing ischemic stroke.
