Herpesvirus in atherosclerosis and thrombosis: etiologic agents or ubiquitous bystanders?

This article will review the pathological, molecular, and biochemical evidence supporting the hypothesis that herpesviruses are involved in the development of atherosclerosis, restenosis after coronary angioplasty, accelerated atherosclerosis in recipients of heart transplants, and the induction of a prothrombotic phenotype in vascular endothelial cells.
