Aortic coarctation can be prevented by controlling blood pressure and following a low-salt diet, and is diagnosed by vascular CT imaging and D-dimer level measurement.
Aortic coarctation is a serious cardiovascular emergency caused by blood breaking into the middle layer of the aorta and separating the aortic intima and mid-ventricle, which can be life-threatening. Therefore, aortic coarctation needs to be prevented and treated immediately after a timely diagnosis is made.
In normal times, blood pressure should be kept at a normal level to avoid excessive fluctuations. It is also important to keep warm to avoid changes in blood pressure caused by rapid changes in temperature. At the same time, one should also pay attention to low salt and low fat in diet and avoid spicy and stimulating food.
In addition, when aortic coarctation is suspected, CT imaging of the whole aorta and D-dimer level should be performed as soon as possible for diagnosis, in order to prevent delayed treatment due to untimely diagnosis, and consult with a professional physician for specific advice.
