Coronary heart disease (CHD) becomes epidemic in any society that transforms itself from an agricultural one to an industrial-technological system with an associated behavioural alteration in the populace’s diet, stress and consumerism. Despite risk factors prevention and many new therapeutic approaches, this disease remains the first cause of morbidity and death in such societies, a primacy that carries enormous implications particularly as CHD often affects people at the peak of their experience and productivity. Furthermore, cardiovascular diseases associated with atherosclerosis will be one of the main health care problems of this millenium in which an increasing mean age plus a reduction of mortality due to treatment of acute vascular events will result in an excessive number of individuals with chronic cardiovascular conditions who need continuous assistance and rehabilitation. This is a human and social cost that will be hard to sustain.

Findings in Acute Coronary Syndromes

Giorgio Baroldi, Malcolm Silver

In keeping with the “unifying theory”, presented by Gorlin et al 1986, CHD has a common etiopathogenetic denominator, i.e., rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque and consequent thrombosis and/or ...

Natural History of the Human Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque and Related Forms of Myocardial Injuries
