| Summary: | The rise in ischemic heart disease(IHD) mortality occurring mostly during the first half of the 20th century is usually associated with economic development and its consequences for people's lifestyles. On the basis of historical evidence, it is postulated that a previous IHD epidemic cycle may have occurred in England and Wales towards the turn of the nineteenth century. The implications of this on causal theories and current etiological research on atherosclerosis are discussed.<br>O aumento na mortalidade por cardiopatia isquêmica ocorrido neste século é usualmente associado ao desenvolvimento econômico e a suas conseqüências no estilo de vida das pessoas. Com base em evidencias históricas, levanta-se a possibilidade de ter havido outro ciclo epidêmico de cardiopatia ao redor da virada para o século 19, na Inglaterra, e discute-se as implicações decorrentes desta hipótese para a pesquisa em aterogênese. |
