WH ETHER
ATHER()SCLER()TIC
LESION
IS
REVERSIBLE
()R
N()T?
No
convincing
evidence
has
been obtained
in
man that
atherosclerotic
lesion
can
be
made to
regress.
However,
there is some encouraging
evi-
dence
in
animals, most notably
in
rabbits
and
primates,
that
relatively
umcomplicated
plaques
induced by
hyper-
lipidemia
will regress,
and
that further
progression
of
atherosclerosis
will cease when
hyperlipidemia
is
removed.
Prevention,
rather
than
treat-
ment,
is
the
goal and one
of
the
most
important
tasks
facing
those responsible
for
the
health
of
the
public and
of
individual
persons-
The
present
article
emphasize
that an
effective
program of prophylaxis
has
not
been
established,
but
enough
is
known
to
guide both
the
identification
of
some of
those
with a high risk such
as
hyperlipidemia,
hypertension
or
smoking
and
initiation
of
proper
measures
that probably
will
reduce
that
risk.
