Why the study?
Do smaller aortic dimensions on CMR predict hypertensive events in pregnant women with coarctation of the aorta?
Do smaller aortic dimensions on CMR predict hypertensive events in pregnant women with coarctation of the aorta?
CMR-derived smaller aortic dimensions can help stratify the risk of hypertensive events in women with coarctation of the aorta considering pregnancy.
May inform hypertensive risk stratification in pregnant CoA patients; leaves open prospective validation.
Smaller aortic dimensions relate to increased risk of hypertensive events in pregnant women with CoA. CMR can aid in stratification of risk for women with CoA who are considering pregnancy.
