Abstract

Much has been written in recent years of the complex and multiple processes implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. Despite such intense activity in this field however, it is evident from the present Conference that controversy still sorrounds many aspects of this insidious disease. One may especially cite questions sorrounding the nature and relative importance of the various factors which may contribute to the initiation of the atherogenic process itself, as well as those relevant to its regression.
