Abstrakt: Comparison of coronary atherosclerosis change in a pilot angiographic study of retrospectively matched smokers and controls indicates more rapid progression in smokers. The findings indicate the feasibility of small-scale angiographic trials of treatment designed to ameliorate arterial damage in atherosclerotic smokers who cannot quit.
