|
| |
| 1. Every patient with systemic arterial hypertension
| |
| should have the brachial and femoral pulses palpated
| |
| simultaneously to assess timing and amplitude evaluation
| |
| to search for the “brachial-femoral delay” of
| |
| significant aortic coarctation. Supine bilateral arm
| |
| (brachial artery) blood pressures and prone right or
| |
| left supine leg (popliteal artery) blood pressures should
| |
| be measured to search for differential pressure. (Level
| |
| of Evidence: C)
| |
|
| |
| 2. Initial imaging and hemodynamic evaluation by TTE,
| |
| including suprasternal notch acoustic windows, is useful
| |
| in suspected aortic coarctation. (Level of Evidence: B)
| |
|
| |
| 3. Every patient with coarctation (repaired or not) should
| |
| have at least 1 cardiovascular MRI or CT scan for
| |
| complete evaluation of the thoracic aorta and intracranial
| |
| vessels. (Level of Evidence: B)}}
