Why the study?
Coarctation of the Aorta leads to increased late morbidity and mortality despite early repair, with many complications related to hypertension commonly found late after repair.
What is the prevalence of hypertension late after coarctation of the aorta repair?
What is the prevalence of hypertension late after coarctation of the aorta repair?
Hypertension is highly prevalent (47.3% to 57.8%) late after coarctation repair, highlighting the need for careful long-term monitoring, particularly with 24-hour blood pressure recording.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Nearly half of repaired CoA patients develop hypertension, rising with ambulatory monitoring; reinforces lifelong surveillance and challenges peripheral BP reliance in guidelines.
