Headline Cardiovascular diseases in the WHO European region 
Description International attack on atherosclerosis



The saying "a man is as old as his arteries" has much evidence to support it. And yet, ischaemic heart disease is an increasingly common cause of sudden death in apparently healthy men in the prime of life. Does this mean that coronary atherosclerosis is occurring more and more frequently in relatively young men, or is the increase in myocardial infarction due to some other factor? In an effort to answer these questions, a WHO-sponsored study group collected autopsy specimens of the aorta and coronary arteries from 13500 subjects. These have been graded according to the nature and extent of atherosclerosis lesions present. An electronic computer has been used to process the data, and interesting correlations between stenosis, thrombosis and myocardial infarction have been established.

Our photo shows a diseased coronary artery.
