What is coarctation?
Narrowing of the aorta
3 coarctation tidbits.

What other heart anomaly is coarctation associated with?
Bicuspid aortic valve in 70% cases
What genetic syndrome is coarctation seen in?
Turners
Coarctation obstruct what and causes what?
LV outflow
-LV hypertrophy
What is the classic signs of coarctation?
- Diminished or absent femoral pulses
- High BP in upper extremities
- Systolic HTN of upper extremities
- Pulse discrepancy between arms
What are clinical signs of coarctation?

- Acidosis
- Heart failure
- Shock
Coarctation reveals what on CXR?

T/F obstructions to pulmonary blood flow are ductal dependant and require prostaglandin.
True
Name an example of parallel circulation.
D-transposition of great arteries
What is parallel circulation?
