The aorta, the right coronary artery, circumflexing and descending branches of the left coronary artery of native men (101) and non-natives (125), died from casual reasons, in the age of 20–59 years, are investigated. In men of indigenous population atherosclerotic process is expressed much more poorly, in comparison with persons of non-indigenous population. In the Yakuts prevalence of frequency of not changed coronary arteries and vessels with initial stage of atherosclerosis was marked whereas in men of non-indigenous population heavy forms of atherosclerosis prevailed which in men of indigenous population developed for one decade later. Essential weighting of atherosclerotic process in men of both populations during last 40 years of investigations was marked.
