Abstract:
The history of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease dates back to ancient times. From the teachings of Galen to the response-to-injury hypothesis of Russel Ross, we have now arrived at the concept of the vulnerable plaque. Next to the development of new treatment options for patients with atherosclerosis, also novel diagnostic imaging techniques have been developed to visualise the arterial wall and to characterise plaque composition. In this article the historical context of atherosclerosis and the attempts towards a noninvasive therapy for patients with atherosclerotic diseases are described. (Neth Heart J 2009;17:140-4.).
