Clinical Features of Coarctation of the Aorta

Are you performing a physical examination on a patient?

Does the patient have arterial hypertension in the upper extremities?

Is the systolic blood pressure in the lower extremities that is the same or lower than that in the upper limbs?

Is there a delay in the pulse between the brachial and femoral arteries?

Is the amplitude of the femoral pulse significantly less than that of the brachial artery?

Is there a parascapular systolic or continuous murmur over the left upper back?

Is there a discrepancy in limb development with a normal right upper extremity?

Is there a delay in pulse between the right and left brachial arteries?

Is there an ejection sound at the apex and a midsystolic murmur at the base?
