摘要
动脉粥样硬化被认为是一种现代疾病,它的发生与现代饮食结构及生活方式密切相关。然而应用CT和病理学等方法检测木乃伊心脏血管结构表明,动脉粥样硬化在工业化以前的古代人群中就已较广泛流行,这提示衰老和遗传易感性或许是动脉粥样硬化重要的危险因子。
Atherosclerosis has been thought to be a disease of modern society, and its occur- rence was closely related to contemporary diet and lifestyle. However, a series of investigations on ancient mummies by autopsy and CT scan concluded that atherosclerosis was commonly seen in ancient times. The presence of atherosclerosis in ancient human beings suggested that aging and genetic predis- position might be essential risk factors for atherosclerosis.
