The basic etiologic process responsible for most coronary and cerebral vascular disease is atherosclerosis, a silent, hidden process that begins in most people before age 20 and progresses asymptomati­cally, often for decades. Not until more than two-thirds of a vessel is occluded in the coronary system does atherosclerosis mani­fest itself, for example, angina, heart attack or sudden death.
