Abstract
Atherosclerosis is usually regarded as a proliferative disease of blood vessels of man and many lower animals with individual and species variation in severity. Commencing as a zone of intimai thickening it progresses to a severely degenerative stage associated with gross, irregular vascular thickening and profound ulceration, thrombosis, tortuosity, ectasia and aneurysmal dilatation. Death ensues from ischemia of vital organs or hemorrhage. Hemodynamic stresses are believed to localize the disease to specific sites in the circulatory system and also to induce atherosclerosis at an accelerated rate [1].
