Coronary heart disease is one of the three most common types of cardiac involvement. Since this is so and since coronary occlusion and myocardial infarction are prone to involve in particular the leading citizens in every community, coronary heart disease has become a (perhapsthe) most vital health problem that demands our attention. Its etiology is of prime importance and is now the subject of an extensive long range research at the Massachusetts General Hospital. In the course of preparing a background for our...
