title: [The role of age-related and adaptive changes in the vascular wall in atherogenesis in light of the theory of Academician I. V. Davydovskiĭ on atherosclerosis].
abstract: Aorta and coronary arteries (1053 and 386 cases, respectively) were evaluated in young persons. It is shown that atherosclerotic developments in the vessels are largely determined by hyperplastic involvement of the intima due to age-related vascular rearrangement and the hemodynamic factor. For aorta, these are represented by rhythmic structures which seem to give rise to the majority of the fibrous plaques. The findings are in consistence with I. V. Davydovsky's conceptions on age-related and adaptation changes in the vascular wall emerging during various human vital activities and supposed to underlie the development of atherosclerosis.
