Despite successful repair of aortic coarctation (AC), systemic hypertension (HTN) can persist in a significant percentage of patients. Exercise-induced HTN is also common in these patients, although its clinical significance is still unclear. In this study we aimed to assess the prevalence of exercise-induced HTN in adult patients with repaired AC.
