The Fourteenth Washington International Spring Symposium, held in
Washington, D.C., in June 1994, brought together over 400 leading
scientists from 21 countries to review and update research on
cardiovascular disease. This group satisfied the symposium goals of
formulating a more comprehensive and integrated picture of the
events contributing to atherosclerosis and of exploring modified
gene expression as an to understanding the causes of
atherosclerosis and providing clues to the approach prevention and
treatment. This volume contains most of the papers presented at the
eight plenary sessions together with selected contributions from
the special sessions. The multidisciplinary nature of the chapters
and their authors should stimulate the interests of biochemists,
cell and molecular biologists, pathologists, pharmacologists,
epidemiologists, nutritionists, and clinicians. The volume is
divided into eight sections which reflect the focus of the plenary
sessions. Part I focuses on the pathophysiology of atherosclerotic
plaques and predicts that the nature of the fibrous cap of atheroma
determines plaque disruption and clinical events. Papers in Part II
deal with atherogenic lipoproteins. The introductory paper reviews
the current view of the role of plasma lipoproteins in
atherosclerosis. With respect to the newer members on the list,:
[oxidized LDL, Lp(a)] evidence is provided that suggests the
involvement of one major gene in the development of oxidized LDL
lipids. the expression of inflammatory genes, and the development
of aortic fatty streaks.
