Abstract

A prospective study was done to find out the macroscopic extent of atherosclerotic lesion of abdominal aorta (above the origin of renal arteries) in & ingladeshi male of different ages. The subjems were divided into lower (8)29). middle (30-40). and higher (42.92) age groups. The atherosclerotic lesions were stained red by wearing the aorta with sudden IV. The percentage of area on the intim( outface showing atherosclerotic lesion were measured by AmoCAD. The percentage of area involved in atherosclerotic lesion increased with advancing age. Unpaired student T rest for statistical analysis revealed significant difference (p<0.0l) between lower and higher age groups.
