In much of the work devoted within recent years to the study of atherosclerosis, great emphasss has been placed on the biochemical changes associated with the disease - particularly changes in the lipid and lipoprotein composition of the blood. Studies of the structure of the arterial wall and of the structural changes occurring during the development of atherosclerotic lesions have been relatively neglected. Atherosclerosis is, however, a focal disease. In studying the pathogenesis of the lesions, and in attempting to account tor their localization, one must consider not only the composition and pressure of the fluid bathing and passing into the arterial wall, but also, obviously, the structure of the wall itself.
