Aortic stiffness assessed by blood pressure and echocardiography in young and normotensive patients with isolated aortic coarctation versus those with aortic coarctation and ventricular septal defect
In both normotensive isolated aortic coarctation and aortic coarctation/ventricular septal defects subgroups, aortic stiffness is increased in a similar way in comparison with controls. Diastolic function was normal and similar in both groups. Aortic stiffness was not related to left ventricular diastolic function in this specific setting.
