For a long period of time some different hypothesis have been published about arteriosclerosis but none of them has discovered the pathogenesis and effective treat­ment of this entity. By elemination of risk factors it is not clear that the disease process stops or reverses. Pre­ventiona and treatment of risk factors should start before manifestation of arteriosclerosis sympthoms. The result of...

Arteriosclerosis Obliteran (ASO) is a local manifestation of systemic arteriosclerosis in the lower extremity arteries. ASO chronic progressive disease caused by arteriosclerosis, such as intimal thickening, lumen stenosis or occlusion blood supply arteries limbs, insufficient diseased and clinical manifestations intermittent claudication, decreased skin temperature, pain, even ulceration necro...

Introduction: dyslipidemia is one of the most important risk factors that cause arteriosclerosis in the coronary artery. The aim of this study was to investigate olive and mulberry leaf , fenugreek seed– dyethylether extract on plasma lipid levels and arteriosclerosis plaques. Materials & Methods: 45 white male rabbits divided into nine groups of five at 22 ±1C.The first and second group were ...

This article describes the origin and evolution of the American Heart Association's Council on Arteriosclerosis. The council had its roots in the American Society for the Study of Arteriosclerosis, which began in 1947. This society and the American Heart Association merged in 1959. The society grew out of the efforts of two extraordinary pathologists, OJ. Pollak, MD, PhD, and Wilhelm C. Hueper,...

RATIONALE The role of circulating antibodies in addition to traditional cardiovascular risk factors in the development of accelerated arteriosclerosis and their long-term clinical consequences have not been demonstrated. OBJECTIVE We investigated the role of circulating antibodies in accelerated arteriosclerosis and the role of immune-associated arteriosclerosis in graft and patient survival ...

We document racial trends in chronic conditions among older men between 1910 and 2004. The 1910 black arteriosclerosis rate was six times higher than the white 2004 rate and more than two times higher than the 2004 black rate. We argue that blacks’ greater lifelong burden of infection led to high arteriosclerosis rates in 1910. Infectious disease, especially respiratory infections at older ages...
