Aortic coarctation is a disease that occurs in the arteries leading out of the heart and is accompanied by symptoms such as severe pain like a tear in the heart, requiring prompt surgery and other treatments. The causes of aortic coarctation are complex and include high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and aortitis. The disease occurs mainly in the aortic arch, but can also involve the thoracic aorta. The aortic arch is the most important blood vessel out of the heart, supplying blood to the systemic circulation. The main symptom of aortic coarctation is a persistent, sharp pain in the anterior region of the heart and in the back. Some may be painless. It may be accompanied by rapid heartbeat, panic, coughing up bloody sputum, difficulty in breathing, and coma, which in severe cases can lead to death. The main treatment for this disease is surgery to repair or replace the diseased blood vessels. When the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time.
