title: [Clinical course of arteriosclerosis of coronary and lower limb arteries (author's transl)].
abstract: The clinical course of arteriosclerosis was evaluated in 9 patients with coronary sclerosis and in 25 with peripheral arterial occlusive disease by means of repeat angiographies following primary angiography after 22.5 and 36.6 months, respectively. During the period of observation arteriosclerosis had progressed in all cases except in two patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease. Despite intensive therapeutic efforts including control of risk factors, dietary care, guided or unguided exercise and the attempt to change unsatisfactory living conditions, progression of arteriosclerosis could not be interrupted. If treatment delayed progression of arteriosclerosis cannot be decided. All vascular areas were affected indiscriminately by progression and no particular localisation was preferred. Intensive exercise does not seem to delay progression of arteriosclerosis.
