Overview
A thorough examination is necessary to truly diagnose an aortic coarctation. Conditions with similar symptoms to an aortic coarctation include: aortic stenosis, cardiomyopathies (dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), endocardial fibroelastosis, primary hypertension, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, viral myocarditis, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, patent ductus arteriosus, polyarteritis, sepsis and shock
Differentiating Aortic Coarctation from other Diseases
A number of conditions are associated with the aortic coarctation. During an examination, it is important to be cognizant that the following conditions need to be differentiated from an aortic coarctation:
- Aortic stenosis
- Cardiomyopathies (dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy)
- Endocardial fibroelastosis
- Essential hypertension
- Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
- Viral myocarditis
- Circulatory collapse due to hypoadrenalism, congenital adrenal hyperplasia
- Patent ductus arteriosus
- Hypertension
- Polyarteritis
- Sepsis
- Shock
