The sequence of cell and matrix changes in atherosclerotic lesions of coronary arteries in the first forty years of life
2 Jan 1990
Abstract excerpt
We have studied the cell and matrix composition of normal intima and of atherosclerotic lesions in the coronary arteries of 691 subjects less than 40 years old. These arteries were obtained at autopsy and fixed by perfusion with glutaraldehyde under physiological pressure. A defined segment of the left coronary artery, known for its susceptibility to develop advanced lesions, was studied by light and electron...
