Overview

A thorough examination is necessary to truly diagnose an aortic coarctation. Conditions with similar symptoms to an aortic coarctation include: polyarteritis, aortic valve stenosis, and patent ductus arteriosus.

Differentiating Aortic coarctation from other diseases

A number of conditions are associated with the aortic coarctation. During an examination, it is important to be cognizant that the following conditions need to be differentiated from an aortic coarctation:

* Patent ductus arteriosus

Other associated conditions:
