This study was done at the National Ribat hospital- Omer Sawi complex, Royal scan Diagnostic Centers and other Sudanese hospitals- Khartoum Sudan during the period from 2016 to 2018. The results of this study revealed that 135 patient with different complain CA CT 39 of them were normal, this study we had 8 patient had atherosclerotic plaques 5 of them were calcified 2were noncalcified and only one was mixed, the prevalence of the ca score excessive 9 mild 2 minimal 1 moderate 15 normal 5 total of 37, left coronary artery diseases were more common than right coronary artery anomalies. Male to female ratio was 54.1 to 45.9.
