Abstract
- The article discusses the highlights of the 41st annual meeting of the American Heart Association (AHA) held in Miami, Florida in October 1965. Reports were presented of original scientific investigations about heart disease, including evidence that high blood cholesterol levels are a major cause of atherosclerosis and surgical procedures to repair the damages caused by heart disease. Chicago Board of Health member Jeremiah Stamler attributed heart disease to factors such as lack of exercise and cigarette smoking.
