PUENTE GARCIA, N. M.; FERNANDEZ GOMEZ, M. L.  e  VOCES GARCIA, D.. Coarctation of the aorta: diagnosis in Primary Health Care. Medifam [online]. 2001, vol.11, n.6, pp.77-85. ISSN 1131-5768.

Coartation of the aorta typically consits of a discrete ridge extending into the aortic lumen just distal to the left subclavian artery. This condition results in hypertension in the arms and the femoral arterial pulses are weak and delayed. On physical examination a harsh systolic ejection murmur may be identified along the left sternal border and in the back, particularly over the coartation. On the chest radiograph and on the electrocardiogram we meet typical changes. The coarctation may be visualized echocardiographically and aortography.  We report a clinical case we have seen in our Primary Health Care's room.

Palavras-chave : Aortic coarctation; Hypertension; Heart defects; Congenital.
