Cardiac pathology registers the highest mortality rate among all the other diseases. The aim of the present study is to establish coronary artery segments with the most frequent localization of atherosclerotic lesions. The investigation showed that, most frequently, atherosclerotic lesions are localized at the level of the big coronary arteries, such as the anterior interventricular branch, right coronary artery and left circumflex artery. Similar values of vascular atherosclerotic lesions were found at the level of the Ist
diagonal branch, possibly due to its hemodynamic features, similar to those of the anterior descendent branch.
