Autopsy grading of atherosclerosis severity offers historical benchmarks; leaves open validation against modern imaging and outcomes.
Observational (n=500)
No
This foundational autopsy study establishes a grading system to analyze the distribution and severity of atherosclerosis across different patient profiles, including those with and without cardiovascular catastrophes.
Roberts et al. (1959) conducted an observational in Atherosclerosis (n=500). Atherosclerosis was evaluated on Distribution and severity of atherosclerosis. Gross lesions of atherosclerosis were graded in 500 consecutive autopsies to analyze their distribution and severity across patients with and without atherosclerotic catastrophe.
