In the one year period there were 201 patients enrolled into the study, all details of the patients like age, sex, clinical features, lipid profile etc. investigations were carried out. Patients were evaluated by colour Doppler for the atherosclerotic plaque, site and percentage of stenosis etc. All such information was entered to excel sheets analyzed by excel software for windows 10 Result: In our study we have seen that the majority of the patients were in the age group of 70-80Yrs. were 36.82%, followed by 60-70 Yrs. were 27.86%, 50-60 Yrs. were 19.40%, 80-90 Yrs. were 8.46%, 40-50 Yrs. were 3.48% and 30-40 were 1.49%.
