40多年前,医生就开始在青年中发现心脏病的迹象,那是在对朝鲜战争中战死的士兵进行尸体解剖时发现的。最近,在美国9个医疗中心进行的研究证实了当时的那些发现。研究证明,心脏病的早期征兆可以在患者出现直接症状之前早得多的青年时期发现,在30岁时这种征兆会变得更加明显。研究人员对1500多具年龄介于15岁至30岁之间的尸体进行了解剖检查,发现所有这些尸体都具有可能患心脏病的早期征兆。其中在15岁至19岁死亡的人中,在大动脉上有脂肪积聚的痕迹。这个年龄层的人有半数在小的动脉血管上也有脂肪。这是动脉硬化症的早期征兆,脂肪增加常常导致心脏病发
More than 40 years ago doctors began to find signs of heart disease among youth, discovered during the autopsy of soldiers killed in the Korean war. Recently, a study conducted in nine U.S. medical centers confirmed those findings. Studies have shown that early signs of heart disease can be detected in youth much earlier than before the patient’s symptoms appear and become noticeable at the age of 30 years. Researchers conducted an autopsy of more than 1,500 bodies aged 15 to 30 and found all of these bodies had early signs of possible heart disease. Among those who died between 15 and 19 years of age, there was a trace of fat accumulation in the aorta. Half of people in this age group also have fat on small arteries. This is an early sign of arteriosclerosis, and fat increases often lead to heart attacks
