Increased blood pressure is associated with increased carotid artery intima-media thickness in children with repaired coarctation of the aorta.
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The intima-media thickness of the common carotid artery (cIMT) is a good noninvasive surrogate marker for cardiovascular disease. Regular cIMT monitoring in children with congenital heart disease has great potential. We sought to determine which anthropomorphic and haemodynamic variables were significantly associated with the cIMT in paediatric patients with obesity and children with repaired coarctation of the aorta (CoA).
