AB Atherosclerotic  arterial  disease  (Chapter  20:  The  Blood  Vessels),  which  is  responsible  for  ischemic  disease  of  the  myocardium  (Chapter  23:  The  Heart:  III.  Myocardium  &  Pericardium),  brain,  and  other  organs,  is  the  major  cause  of  death  in  developed  countries,  and  accounts  for  over  40%  of  all  deaths  in  the  United  States.  The  consequences  of  arterial  narrowing  and  thrombosis  have  been  considered  in  Chapter  9:  Abnormalities  of  Blood  Supply,  a  brief  review  of  which  may  be  beneficial  at  this  stage.  Hypertension  (Chapter  20:  The  Blood  Vessels)  affects  an  estimated  25  million  adult  Americans.
