The clinically important lesion of human atherosclerosis is the fibrous atheromatous plaque which often is calcified.1The connective tissue changes of fibrous lesions begin to develop in the second decade of life but it usually takes decades of slow growth before they produce clinical symptoms. However, it is these connective tissue changes which threaten health and life by seriously impairing arterial function through: luminal stenoses by the raised fibrous intima, through loss of elasticity by elastica destruction and collagen accumulation, as well as through increased rigidity and brittleness by calcium mineralization. These impairments of arterial function in turn lead to insufficiency of blood flow, thrombosis, hypertension, aneurysms and vessel rupture.
