Impaired Fetal Growth and Atherosclerosis of Carotid and Peripheral Arteries
Lancet 352:173-178, Martyn,C.N.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Increased artherogenesis may be one mechanism mediating the observed epidemiological link between impaired fetal growth and cardiovascular disease.Adaptions made by the fetus in response to influences that retard its growth may have long-term consequences for the structure of the metabolism of the vascular system.
