    Abstract:
    AIM: To assess 40 years evolution of atherosclerosis of the aorta and coronary arteries among practically healthy Moscow men. METHODS: We compared results of 2 studies of prevalence and extent (area) of atherosclerotic lesions in thoracic and abdominal aorta and 2 main coronary arteries. The studies were conducted in 1963-1965 and 2002-2003 according to WHO program. RESULTS: Prevalence of coronary artery stenoses as well as prevalence and area of raised lesions in these arteries were higher among violent death victims studied in 2002-2003. Raised lesions in both parts of aorta and in left anterior descending coronary artery were more pronounced also in men studied in 2002-2003.
