Abstract

The article is devoted to a review of the literature of the history of the discovery and function of glycocalyx, which is part of the endotheliocyte membrane. Based on the analyzed works that have been published in the medical press over the past 30 years, the importance of studying the function and structure of glycocalyx in the endothelial layer of veins is noted. The significant influence of glycocalyx in the development of pathophysiological processes in patients with pathology of the cardiovascular system is presented.

Keywords: glycocalyx, endothelium, endothelial dysfunction, cardiovascular system.
