Myocardial Lipids in Relation to Coronary Artery Disease in Man

  • Chapter
Arterial Pollution

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Science Institutes Series ((NSSA,volume 58))

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the fatty acid composition and content of phospholipids, and free fatty acids in human heart muscle samples obtained at autopsy from people that died suddenly in accidents and from people that died suddenly from heart disease, with or without coronary artery disease.
