title: [Arterial lesions in childhood: possible precursors of atherosclerosis].
abstract: The mini-review on pathogenesis and possible etiologies of human atherosclerosis puts its emphasis on the arterial lesions preceeding clinically manifest atheroma-formation. These lesions which arise from childhood onwards may be caused by a variety of factors such as mechanical stress, immune complexes, infection, toxic products and hyperlipemia.
