6.1. The Arterial Wall and Arteriosclerosis. The major emphasis of the preceding sections on magnesium-lipid interrelationships and on estrogen-lipid/coagulation-lipid interrelationships is predominantly on blood constituents, as they influence the development of atherosclerosis..5.3. Clinical Magnesium Deficiency and Blood Pressure.

Shortest Player Currently in the NHL Currently, the honor of shortest player in the NHL goes to Nathan Gerbe-drafted 142nd overall in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the Buffalo Sabres. Modeling his game after the likes Martin St. Louis and Danny Briere, Gerbe hasn't let his height get in the way of him playing in the NHL, playing in over 150 games.
As of 2013, the average height of an NHLer is 6 feet 1 inches with a range of 5 feet 5 inches to 6 feet 9 inches. The tallest player in the NHL and to have played the game is Zdeno Chara who at 6 feet 9 inches patrols the blue line for the Boston Bruins - with his skates on he has to be near 7 feet tall.
