The cardiac lymphatics are responsible for the transport of all the lipoproteins and cholesterol from the extravascular myocardial tissue, although little is known about the filtration and lymphatic clearance of the coronary artery wall. It is postulated that a critical factor in the genesis of arteriosclerosis is lymphstasis, which adequately explains the positive correlation with the known risk factors for coronary artery disease and the negative correlation with high-density lipoproteins. Further research is necessary in this little-known area to better understand the etiology of atherosclerosis.
心脏淋巴管负责从血管外心肌组织转运所有脂蛋白和胆固醇，尽管对冠状动脉壁的滤过和淋巴清除了解甚少。据推测，动脉硬化发生的一个关键因素是淋巴淤滞，这充分解释了其与已知冠状动脉疾病危险因素的正相关以及与高密度脂蛋白的负相关。在这个鲜为人知的领域有必要进行进一步研究，以更好地理解动脉粥样硬化的病因。
