Coronary arteries originate from ascending aorta, above the aortic valves from the aortic sinuses. Right coronary artery passes between the right atrial appendage and pulmonary trunk in the atrio ventricular septum and continues as .......................
Q) Not A complication of untreated coarctation of aorta a) Endocarditis b) CVA c) Congestive heart failure d) Pulmonary vascular disease
Coarctation of aorta is narrowing that diminishes the aortic lumen and produces an obstruction to the flow of blood. In untreated patients complications might develop like endocarditis that occur at sites of turbulent blood flow which is the site of narrowing,..........
Q) Not a finding in young adult with coarctation of aorta A) Dimnished femoral pulse b) Post murmur between the scapula c) High BP in left arm d) Peripheral cyanosis
