In women with coarctation of the aorta, a minimum aortic arch diameter ≤13 mm was associated with a 60% cardiovascular event rate during pregnancy compared to 12% in those with a diameter >13 mm.
Observational (n=28)
Yes
Absolute Event Rate: 60% vs 12%
p-value: p=0.02
To examine the association between aortic dimensions on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and risk of adverse events related to pregnancy in women with coarctation of the aorta (CoA).
Juan et al. (Wed,) conducted a observational in Coarctation of the aorta (n=28). Minimum aortic arch diameter ≤13 mm vs. Minimum aortic arch diameter >13 mm was evaluated on Cardiovascular events related to pregnancy (p=0.02). In women with coarctation of the aorta, a minimum aortic arch diameter ≤13 mm was associated with a 60% cardiovascular event rate during pregnancy compared to 12% in those with a diameter >13 mm.
