Introduction: Atherosclerosis is a degenerative disease of multicausal etiology. Different risk factors (genetic and acquired) acting together can determine its occurrence. Objective: Considering the epidemiological importance of atherosclerosis, it was decided to study it by ultrasonography and to observe its association between the affected side (right, left, both sides) with risk factors, such as: age, gender, arterial hypertension, smoking and diabetes mellitus. Methodology: The data were obtained from the analysis of service forms, provided by a private clinic in Imperatriz – MA, that offers the service of doppler of carotid, in the period from January to December 2016. The objective of the ultrasonography examination was to locate and quantify carotid atherosclerotic lesions. Result: 50 individuals were studied, whose age range varied from 42 to 86 years, with an average age of 69,72 years (± 9,43), of which 31 (62%) were female and 19 (38%) males. Of this population, 13 (26%) had diabetes mellitus, and 11 (22%) were smokers, 38 (76%) individuals were hypertensive and 22 (44%) had previous history of stroke. Conclusion: Although the studies show diferences in the degree of atherosclerotic development when compared to the side of the carotid artery, there is no specific correlation between the side affected (right, left, both sides) with the risk factors (gender, smoking) and systemic diseases (stroke, diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension).
