Reduced Aortic Distensibility is Associated With Higher Aorto‐Carotid Wave Transmission and Central Aortic Systolic Pressure in Young Adults After Coarctation Repair

Reduced Aortic Distensibility is Associated With Higher Aorto‐Carotid Wave Transmission and Central Aortic Systolic Pressure in Young Adults After Coarctation Repair

Background The long‐term prognosis of patients with repaired aortic coarctation is characterized by high rates of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease related to hypertension, the basis of which remains unclear. To define potential underlying mechanisms, we investigated aortic and carotid arte...
