Abstract

Race and sex differences in aorta and coronary atherosclerotic lesions were studied in 150 persons aged 6 to 30 years. The intimal surface involvement with aorta fatty streaks was extensive, 0 to 71%, and greater in blacks than in whites (32 vs 20%, p less than 0.001). Coronary artery fatty streaks were more extensive in male than in female subjects (range 0 to 22%). Fibrous plaque lesions were present but not extensive in either the aorta (0 to 12%) or the coronary artery (0 to 24%) specimens. Lesions were more prevalent in male than in female persons, particularly white male subjects. The relation of fatty streaks to fibrous plaques was greater in the coronary vessels than in the aorta. In male subjects, aorta fatty streaks were strongly related to antemortem levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and ponderal index in white male subjects. Coronary artery fatty streaks in white male persons were significantly associated with serum triglycerides, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and ponderal index. These results link antemortem risk factors to the development of atherosclerotic lesions and emphasize the need for preventive cardiology in early life.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
