Abstract
The purpose of this manuscript is to introduce a mechanism that could be applied to the “Iron Atherosclerosis Hypothesis”. Published data from eleven countries clearly indicate that the mortality from cardiovascular diseases is correlated with liver iron, thus the hypothesis. The bridging field of biomagnetism is herein presented as a tool for the scientific explanation for this illness. Atherosclerosis is a disease directly linked to high mortality and morbidity due to a several risks factors; and in spite of several behavioral modifications and drug therapy the prevalence of the disease continues. Amongst one of the factors influencing the disease progression is high iron levels in blood. Studies show post-menopausal women having a greater incidence of vascular disease that were correlated with higher levels of stored iron in this population. It has been stated that like any other theory in cardiovascular medicine, the iron-atherosclerosis hypothesis will undergo many trials and tribulations before it is proven or refuted. This manuscript re-introduces documentation of an intrinsic property of in vivo human tissue, which is attracting very fine iron particles. It must be noted that iron is a paramagnetic material, therefore attracted to a magnetic field.

Human Tissue Biomagnetism and Iron Attraction A biophysical explanation is proposed as possible mechanism for the iron attraction by the arterial tissue as stated in the “Iron Hypothesis of Atherosclerosis”
Summary
The purpose of this manuscript is to introduce a mechanism that could explain the genesis of the “Iron Atherosclerosis Hypothesis”. Published data from eleven countries clearly indicate that the mortality from cardiovascular diseases is correlated with liver iron, the hypothesis [1]. Amongst one of the factors influencing the disease genesis and progression is high iron levels in blood [9]. It has been stated that like any other theory in cardiovascular medicine, the iron-atherosclerosis hypothesis will undergo many trials and tribulations before it is proven or refuted. This manuscript re-introduces documentation of an intrinsic property of in vivo human tissue attracting very fine iron particles that may open new areas of exploration or trials aimed at the elucidation of “The Iron Atherosclerosis” hypothesis. It must be noted that iron is a paramagnetic material, attracted to a biomagnetic field
