Aortic coarctation diagnosed after hypertension in pregnancy

G Y Lip et al. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1998 Sep.

Abstract

Coarctation of the aorta is an unusual cause of hypertension in pregnancy because the disorder in adults is often unrecognized by obstetricians or general practitioners managing antenatal clinics. We report 3 women with adult coarctation of the aorta that was diagnosed in the hypertension clinic after hypertensive pregnancies where the diagnosis had been missed.
