Innate and acquired immunity in atherogenesis (2002, background): “Autopsy studies have confirmed the presence of advanced and obstructive lesions in young and clinically robust individuals, and intracoronary ultrasound studies have demonstrated the remarkable prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis in 37% of 'healthy' heart donors 20–29 years of age, 60% of those 3”
