Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the importance of considering undiagnosed severe valvular and congenital heart disease in young adults presenting with exertional syncope.
Rruci et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Aortic stenosis, aortic dilation, and coarctation (n=1). Major heart surgery (valve replacement, correction of dilated arch, removal of coarcted segment) was evaluated. Emergent major heart surgery, including valve replacement and aortic repair, was performed on 1 young adult presenting with exertional syncope due to undiagnosed severe aortic stenosis and coarctation.
