Overview
A thorough examination is necessary to truly diagnose an aortic coarctation. Conditions with similar symptoms to an aortic coarctation include: polyarteritis, aortic valve stenosis, and patent ductus arteriosus.
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
- Primary hypertension
- Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
- Viral myocarditis
- Circulatory collapse due to hypoadrenalism, Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
- Patent ductus arteriosus
- Hypertension
- Polyarteritis
- Sepsis
- Shock
Other associated conditions
- Ventricular septal defect
- Anomalies of the head and neck vessels
- Intracerebral aneurysms
