"Influence of age on survival, late hypertension, and recoarctation in elective aortic coarctation repair. Including long-term results after elective aortic coarctation repair with a follow-up from 25 to 44 years". The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery. 108 (3): 525– 31. doi: 10.1016/S0022-5223(94)70264-0. PMID 8078345.
Coarctation’s a fancy way of saying “narrowing”, so a coarctation of the aorta means a narrowing of the aorta. If we look at the heart, we’ve got the right and left atria, the right and left ventricles, the pulmonary artery leaving the right ventricle to the lungs, and the aorta leaving the left ventricle and going to to the body.
An aortic coarctation is a narrowing of the aorta, which is split into infant and adult forms. In the infant form, it's often accompanied by patent ductus arteriosus, and mixing of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood, whereas in the adult form, the ductus arteriosus has closed off.

In stroke patients, we found a moderate quality of evidence that MT as an additional therapy improves recovery of arm function after stroke. The quality of evidence regarding the effects of MT on the recovery of lower limb functions is still low, with only one study reporting effects.
In cardiology, aortic valve area calculation is an indirect method of determining the area of the aortic valve of the heart. The calculated aortic valve orifice area is currently one of the measures for evaluating the severity of aortic stenosis. A valve area of less than 1.0 cm 2 is considered to be severe aortic stenosis. [1] [2]
Central aortic pressure (CAP), central aortic blood pressure (CABP), or central aortic systolic pressure (CASP) is the blood pressure at the root of aorta.Studies have shown the importance of central aortic pressure, especially as compared to peripheral blood pressure, and its implications in assessing the efficacy of antihypertensive treatment with respect to cardiovascular risk factors ...
Aortic dissection affects an estimated 2.0–3.5 people per every 100,000 every year. Studies from Sweden suggest that the incidence of aortic dissection may be rising. [46] Men are more commonly affected than women: 65% of all people with aortic dissection are male. The mean age at diagnosis is 63 years. [25]
