In 1982 Berlin was host for the second time to the International Symposium on Atherosclerosis. In 1973 the third symposium was held there, following the first in Athens -opened by the unforgettable Paul D. White -and the second in Chicago, where the great gentlemen of atherosclerosis research - Louis Katz and Irving Page - left their special imprint on the meeting. Since the third symposium in Berlin impressive advances have been made in the f...

The presence of monotypism in thick atherosclerotic lesions of black females with G-6-PD mosaicism first reported by the Benditts (1973) has been confirmed in two other laboratories. However, we believe that it is premature to conclude that the finding of monotypism necessarily indicates monoclonal origin of athero­ sclerotic lesions. We have suggested two alternative explanations for the obser­ vation of monotypism which we believe must be sh...

Even though numerous questions with regard to the pathogenesis of athero­ sclerosis have not yet been answered, the accumulated evidence indicates significant regression of lesions in experimental animals. This is discussed extensively in this monograph, as are the mechanisms involved in regression of lesions. Whether human atherosclerosis has the potential for regression appears to be the most important, but at the same time the most difficul...

G. Schettler Die "International Society and Federation of Cardiology" hatte vor 2 Jahren in Kronberg/Taunus ein Symposium durchgeführt, um Möglichkeiten der sekundä­ ren Prävention der coronaren Herzkrankheiten zu untersuchen. Dies schien not­ wendig, da die Zahl der tödlichen Myocardinfarkte sowie der plötzlichen Herzto­ desfälle in den meisten Ländern der Welt weiter zunimmt. Auf der anderen Seite gibt es deutliche Verbesserungen der Mortali...

Abbaus dieser komplexen Lipide bereits in utero nachgewiesen werden konnen.

Advances which have been made in the field of lipid chemistry and bio­ chemistry during the last ten years mainly are the results of progress in metho­ dology. The introduction of isotopic and chromatographic techniques has not only enriched our knowledge of normal lipid metabolism but has also greatly enhanced the understanding of the various lipidoses. This is well illustrated by a comparison of the contents of the present monograph with tho...
