-aortic coarctation
+==Aortic coarctation==
 Imaging of the aortic arch usually works best from the jugular (sternal supra). When evaluating a patient with a suspected coarctation always pay attention to associated anomalies such as:
-- Bicuspid aortic valve
-- Aortic valve stenosis
-- Patent ductus arteriosus
-- VSD
-- Mitral valve abnormalities
-Determining coarctation
+*Bicuspid aortic valve
- Note instrument
+*Aortic valve stenosis
-Location Color doppler The origo of the carotid and subclavian artery are reference points for locating the coarctation.
