Mild Coarctation of Aorta is an Independent Risk Factor for Exercise-Induced Hypertension

Exercise-induced hypertension is a predictor of cardiovascular events in patients with coarctation of aorta (COA). However, it is unclear whether mild COA diagnosis is an independent risk factor of exercise-induced hypertension. We hypothesized that for every unit increase in exercise, patients with...

Description
Summary:Exercise-induced hypertension is a predictor of cardiovascular events in patients with coarctation of aorta (COA). However, it is unclear whether mild COA diagnosis is an independent risk factor of exercise-induced hypertension. We hypothesized that for every unit increase in exercise, patients with COA (without hemodynamically significant coarctation) will have a higher rise in systolic blood pressure (SBP) compared with matched controls. One hundred forty-nine patients with COA (aortic coarctation peak velocity
