Abstract

The study of coronary atherosclerosis in children has at least two general objectives. One is to learn more about the natural history of the early development of the disease. Another, in comparing coronaries from geographic areas with differing severity of atherosclerosis in adults, is to learn at what time the disease begins to progress rapidly in the high risk group, and to determine if there are qualitative differences in early lesions from different locations.
