Abstract

In the past, regression of atherosclerotic arterial lesions has frequently been denied. Nowadays, the concept of “regression” seems to be more or less largely accepted and at the same time limits of it are being discovered: methods of study, species differences, regional differences of arterial structure and reactivity, etc. largely help set limits of the field.
