The study of the aorta and coronary arteries from 25 chamois shot in their mountain natural habitat allowed the observation that this animal is more exposed to liposclerotic lesions than other wild herbivorous mammals which live in the plain or at low altitudes. This observation is supported by both the frequency of the lesions (found in the coronary arteries of 14 animals and in the aorta of 10) and their morphologic and histochemical features. The author discusses the possible role of the relatively hypoxic condition, in which this animal lives at high altitudes, on the etiopathogeny of the above mentioned lesions.
对在其自然山地栖息地被射杀的25只岩羚羊的主动脉和冠状动脉进行研究后发现，与生活在平原或低海拔地区的其他野生食草哺乳动物相比，这种动物更容易出现脂质性硬化病变。病变的发生率（在14只动物的冠状动脉和10只动物的主动脉中发现）及其形态学和组织化学特征均支持这一观察结果。作者讨论了这种动物在高海拔地区生活时相对缺氧的状况在上述病变病因学中可能起到的作用。
