Literature data concerning the role of endothelium and nitric oxide in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, administration of L-arginine as a part of a comprehensive therapy of patients suffering from essential hypertension (EH) and ischemic heart disease (IHD) are cited.Objective: to systematize current literature data concerning the role of endothelium and nitric oxide in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, clinical experience of L-arginine administration in patients with EH and IHD. Conclusion. Nowadays endothelial dysfunction conception is defined with insufficient production of nitric oxide as a central part of EH and IHD pathogenesis. Nitric oxide deficiency occurring with cardiovascular diseases can be compensated by means of NO donors.
