The natural history of carotid artery disease.
ATHEROSCLEROSIS is a progressive disease which is usually silent clinically until late in its course. The reasons for the clinical silence are apparent upon study of the pathology of the disease. Early atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease which destroys the normal anatomy of the arterial wall. The destruction of the elastin in the wall causes arterial dilation. Only late in its course doe...

A family history of heart attack is reported to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular death in men. In a 9 year follow-up of 4014 adults from 40 to 79 years old in the Rancho Bemardo Study, men under 60 years of age with a family history of heart attack were at fivefold increased risk. In this study, we sought to determine whether modifiable risk factors, i.e., blood pressure, plasma ch...

To determine the effect of atherosclerotic coronary lesions on myocardial blood flow in patients at rest, regional myocardial blood flow was measured distal to stenotic lesions in 29 patients with isolated proximal lesions of the left anterior descending artery. Severity of coronary stenosis was measured by computer-assisted cinevideodensitometric analysis of digitized coronary arteriograms. Re...

We investigated the prognostic significance of new-onset angina in patients in whom coronary anatomic characteristics were known. New onset angina was defined as angina of less than 3 months duration. Consecutive patients (n = 1727) with significant coronary artery disease (diagnosed at cardiac catheterization) and who had not had a prior myocardial infarction or congestive heart failure were s...

The relationships among clinical variables, coronary anatomy, and left ventricular function during the early hours of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were evaluated from data acquired in the Western Washington Intracoronary Streptokinase Trial. All patients had symptoms and electrocardiographic changes typical of AMI. All data were obtained before treatment with streptokinase. Mean time to ca...
