  1. There were 148 males (74%) and 52 females (26%) in the transradial group and there were 134 (67%) males and 66 (33%) females in the transfemoral group. Both in transradial and transfemoral group rural populace outnumbered the urban dwellers. Most of the studied subjects were smokers. The mean BMI (body mass index) of (27.1 ± 2.4) and (26.9 ± 1.6) were observed in transradial and transfemoral group of studied subjects respectively. Most of our studied subjects were in the age group of 51 to 70 years in both the arms
