Abstract

Mummies

Atherosclerosis

Paleopathology

Computed Tomography

Cardiovascular Disease

Atherosclerosis is usually thought of as a disease of modern times. However, atherosclerosis has been found in the remains of ancient people, suggesting that the disease has been present in humans in some form for many millennia.1 In this study, the authors significantly expand the previous experience of computed tomography (CT) scanning to systematically identify atherosclerosis in the mummified remains of people from around the world and explore its presence in seven different cultures.
