   * **[[home:pathogenesis:evolution|evolutionary analysis]] suggests cardiovascular disease is not caused by lifestyle or genetic factors** – Atherosclerosis has been identified in Egyptian mummies.(({{pubmed>long:10495769}})) This suggests that whatever factors cause atherosclerosis has existed for at least several millenia. If it were true that a factor such as a harmful allele for a gene or the consumption of fatty foods caused atherosclerosis, the human species would have had several millenia to evolve a defense for this vulnerability to disease or, at the very least, to weed this trait out of the population.(({{pubmed>long:10839723}}))   * **[[home:pathogenesis:evolution|evolutionary analysis]] suggests cardiovascular disease is not caused by lifestyle or genetic factors** – Atherosclerosis has been identified in Egyptian mummies.(({{pubmed>long:10495769}})) This suggests that whatever factors cause atherosclerosis has existed for at least several millenia.

   * **prenatal exposure to influenza and cardiovascular disease** – Prenatal exposure to the 1918 influenza pandemic (Influenza A, H1N1 subtype) is associated with >/=20% excess cardiovascular disease at 60 to 82 years of age, relative to cohorts born without exposure to the influenza epidemic, either prenatally or postnatally. These findings suggest novel roles for maternal infections in the fetal programming of cardiovascular risk factors that are independent of maternal malnutrition.(({{pubmed>long:20198106}}))   * **prenatal exposure to influenza and cardiovascular disease** – Prenatal exposure to the 1918 influenza pandemic (Influenza A, H1N1 subtype) is associated with >/=20% excess cardiovascular disease at 60 to 82 years of age, relative to cohorts born without exposure to the influenza epidemic, either prenatally or postnatally.
