ABSTRACT

100 arteries aortas of deceased were analyzed between 0 and 39 years of age. The atherometric system was used for the pathomorphological and morphometric study of the arteries and allowed to detect the atherosclerotic lesions and to measure the areas occupied by them and estimate/weigh their obstruction and intraarterial stenosis indices. The deceased were analyzed according to their age. They were divided in 4 groups: ‹ 11 years, 11 to 20, 21 to 30 and 31 to 39. The results were that the atherosclerotic lesions in the aorta increase with the age; the fatty streaks were observed from the 2 years of age, whereas fibrous plaques were observed starting from the 20 years; the fibrous plaques progress starting from the 31 years; that the severe plaques were not presented before the 40 years of age; the obstruction and the stenosis increased with to the age and the kindliness diminishes as the age increases.
