No systematic study of the cholesterol and lipid constituents of the blood in patients with coronary sclerosis is available in the literature.There are, however, some studies on the cholesterol concentration in the blood of patients with arteriosclerosis. Bachmeister and Henes,1in 1913, after a study of 13 patients with arteriosclerosis and of nine normal individuals, stated that patients with atherosclerosis in the stage of development...Bibliography1.
