Anatomically three types of sclerosing processes are recognized. Atherosclerosis, a senile process which begins rather late in life in the lesser circulation, is always found after 70.1It is a part of the generalized atherosclerosis found in the greater system. It is of no particular clinical importance. There are exceptions to that statement. Again, atherosclerosis is found earlier in the pulmonary system accompanying the other two types of sclerosis respectively. Arteriosclerosis in the sense of Jores2is a compensatory phenomenon in which there...References1 LJUNGDAHL M: Untersuchungen über die Arteriosklerose des kleinen Kreislaufs. 1915, Verlag von J. F.
