Severe Aortic Coarctation Incidentally Diagnosed at Breastfeeding Women Presenting with Acute Coronary Syndrome

Abstract

This paper reports a very rare and an original case of a severe coarctation of aorta (CoA) that incidentally diagnosed at breastfeeding young women who presented with acute coronary syndrome. CoA is a complex congenital malformation and accounts for 5-10 % of all congenital heart disease. It is usually diagnosed in childhood with significant symptoms but many asymptomatic patients remain undiagnosed until adulthood. Also CoA is one of the reasons of secondary hypertension and premature coronary artery disease.

Abstract

Bu yazıda oldukça nadir rastlanan ve orjinal bir vaka olan akut koroner senrom ile başvuran genç kadında rastlantısal olarak tanı konan ciddi aort koarktasyonu sunulmuştur. Aort koarktasyonu kompleks bir doğumsal anomalidir ve tüm doğumsal kalp hastalıklarının %5-10'nu oluşturmaktadır. Sıklıkla çocukluk çağında ciddi belirtiler nedeniyle tanı konur ancak belirti vermeyen hastalar yetişkin çağa kadar tanı alamayabilirler. Ayrıca aort koaktasyonu sekonder hipertansiyon ve erken koroner arter hastalığı nedenlerinden biridir
