Why the study?
Do normotensive patients with repaired aortic coarctation have abnormal vascular characteristics compared to matched controls?
Do normotensive patients with repaired aortic coarctation have abnormal vascular characteristics compared to matched controls?
Normotensive patients with repaired aortic coarctation exhibit abnormal vascular characteristics, such as elevated central and peripheral pulse pressures, which may predispose them to increased cardiovascular risk.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Abnormal vascular parameters in normotensive repaired coarctation may signal elevated risk; leaves open need for prospective outcome studies.
Swan et al. (2008) studied this question.
