Hello, if someone is interested in editing topics concerning atherosclerosis, neurotrophins, adipobiology or is interested in history of science and the development of ideas in the vascular biology, please contribute to this entry. Regards, Danko Georgiev MD 15:28, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I believe this page may be a vanity article. I've tagged it as an autobiography. — Tivedshambo (talk) 16:24, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, I think that the article may be cleared to conform the Wikipedia requirements, but I don't think that the article is autobiography. Maybe I have put too nuch references, but this also is subject for further editing. This scientist has several substantial works in the field of atherosclerosis, and is one of the leading scientists in the field that contributed to it from the very beginning of the scientific inquiry when the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis were still unknown.

"Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death in the developed world, and atherosclerosis is predicted to be the leading cause of death in the developing world within the first quarter of the next century. Atherosclerosis is responsible for more than half of the yearly mortality in the United States, and more than 500,000 people die annually of myocardial infarction alone. This rate of mortality costs the country more than $100 billion a year." Quoted from: [1]

I don't say that now there are only few researchers in the atherosclerosis field, I just say, that you cannot run back the time and become a pioneer for whom articles should be written. George Chaldakov is a pioneer in this field in 1970's whose work might be fully understood by medical doctors, because "secretion by muscle cells" may not be such an important fact for non-specialist. Of course this fact today is written in all textbooks, but it had to be proved first. Regards, Danko Georgiev MD 16:56, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Autobiography tag removed! This article is NOT written by the person for whom it concerns! Please see my user talk page. Thanks! If you want to label it, you can put another markers for non-objectivity, but not autobiography one. My profile is on my user page. Danko Georgiev MD 17:18, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
