Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is an abnormality readily apparent by the combination of upper body hypertension and weak or absent femoral pulses. Nevertheless, studies in children's hospitals ...

Objectives: To determine the relation of ambulatory systolic blood pressure to aortic obstruction and more extensive vascular dysfunction, assessed by central aortic, peripheral conduit arterial and ...

Congenital coarctation of the aorta was diagnosed in a 3-year-old boy with a systolic murmur, a brachial pressure of 130/95 mm Hg, and an ankle pressure of 75 mm Hg. Diagnosis was confirmed by ...

For instance, aortic coarctation was assessed combined with duct-dependent CHDs and with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. ... Diagnostic accuracy of prenatal ultrasound in coarctation of aorta: ...
