Are cardiopulmonary baroreflex responses altered late after surgical repair of coarctation of the aorta?
Young adults with repaired coarctation of the aorta exhibit resetting of the cardiopulmonary baroreflex and hyperdynamic left ventricular function over a decade after surgery.
D. C. Johnson (2001) studied this question.
