Die Atherosklerose ist eine bedeutende Gef\u00e4\u00dferkrankung in der Vogelmedizin. Verschiedene Risikofaktoren, beispielsweise die Ern\u00e4hrung, werden in Analogie zum Menschen bei der Entstehung dieser Gef\u00e4\u00dferkrankung auch bei Greifv\u00f6geln diskutiert. In dieser Fallstudie werden atherosklerotische Ver\u00e4nderungen bei Falken (n = 17) und Habichtsartigen (n = 10), die \u00fcberwiegend mit Eintagsk\u00fcken gef\u00fcttert wurden und von 17 verschiedenen Haltern stammten, makroskopisch, histologisch sowie in klinischen F\u00e4llen (n = 10) mit Hilfe einer r\u00f6ntgenologischen und computertomographischen Untersuchung beschrieben. F\u00fcr neun der an Atherosklerose erkrankten Greifv\u00f6gel (n = 27) konnten die Gef\u00e4\u00dfver\u00e4nderungen als Todes- bzw. Erkrankungsursache festgestellt werden. Sieben dieser Tiere verstarben pl\u00f6tzlich ohne offensichtliche Symptome.

Arteriae pectorales) und Koronararterien, mit zum Teil hochgradiger Einengung der betroffenen Gef\u00e4\u00dfe, nachweisen.
