Systemic Global Arterial Stiffening is Associated with Adverse Left Ventricular Remodeling in Children Following Coarctation of the Aorta Repair.
AIMS Coarctation of the aorta (COA) is associated with long-term arterial stiffness, and remodeling of the left ventricle (LV) and left atrium (LA). We hypothesized that Doppler-derived indices of arterial load would be associated with LV remodeling in children after successful COA repair. METHODS In this cross-secti...
