Abstract:
Although atherosclerosis was linked to infections many decades ago, only recently there has been a renewed interest to study this association further. These research endeavors have provided a substantial amount of knowledge concerning the mechanisms that may link inflammation, immunity, and infections to the molecular and cellular events in the arterial wall leading to atherosclerotic lesions.
