摘要：
This review article discusses the historical origin of our continuously evolving model of the etiology of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The basic molecular biologic concepts underlying the development of coronary artery disease and the dynamic connection between the immune system and arterial integrity are explored. Emphasis is placed on the role of inflammation as a driving force in the process of atherosclerosis and vascular endothelium as a modulating factor in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease.
