Abstract

Although an increasing prevalence of coronary heart disease and arterial hypertension in the indigenous northern peoples currently takes place, it was low a few decades ago. The topic of this review is a resistance of the Northern native populations to cardiovascular diseases, that is known for a long time but still remains scientifically unexplained.
