HI. If you are elderly , nothing to worry about.
This is a process of coating of the internal layer of the aorta by atheromatous plaques and are found in many patients without any symptoms.
This may be taken as a aging process provided you do not have any medical issues.
If the integrity of the aorta is normal , just forget about this.
If you are still bothered , consult a Cardiologist who would ask you to undergo few tests like blood lipid profile and may advise you to take some medicines like statins to reduce this .
