Abstract
Atherosclerotic risk factors can be divided into two main categories-genetical and environmental issues. The latter ones include habitual factors since human habits manifest as environmental factors at the cellular level. Environmental issues can govern human health via epigenetic modification of chromatin structure. This review discusses the recent findings linking general epigenetic mechanisms of chromatin modifications to atherosclerosis development.
