Correlates of left ventricular hypertrophy in adults with coarctation of aorta and role in risk stratification
Aortic isthmus ratio had the strongest correlation with LVMI, which is a reflection of chronic LV pressure overload. An aortic isthmus ratio ≤0.7 was the optimal cut-off point to detect LV hypertrophy with good sensitivity and specificity. These results can potentially improve and simplify patient selection for COA intervention.
