Arteriosclerosis occurs most frequently in brain workers,in the well-to-do class, in women before the fifty-fifth year,and in men after that age. Syphilis and lead produce a degeneration of the arterialwalls so radically different from the ordinary senile arterio-sclerosis that the conidtion resulting from these causes shouldreceive a special designation such as syphilitic degeneration orlead degeneration of the arteries. They act by irritating thelining membrane. Pathology.—The early pathology of arteriosclerosis dependsupon the etiology and is determined by the location of the initiallesion. This may be in the intima, media or vasa the disease is due to a cause producing local endothelial irri-tation the earliest change is a multiplication of cells at the pointof irritation. Patches of endothelium thus become thickened.
