The time might have arrived to seriously consider substituting inflammation for degeneration as the main idea behind atherogenesis.11 The 2009 H1N1 pandemic is giving us the opportunity of widely reassess the role of infection, and particularly of influenza, on the cause of coronary heart disease.

The Review by Warren-Gash and colleagues is proof that change is already on its way. Now it is up to usto decide whether we are ready to advance, and how far.
