Essentials of Adult Congenital Heart Disease - Coarctation of the Aorta

This one-hour educational session provides a focused review of Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA) in adults. The course begins with an overview of CoA anatomy, underlying pathophysiology, and typical clinical presentation across various stages of life. Participants will examine key imaging modalities used to identify, evaluate, and quantify CoA following surgical or transcatheter repair, with an emphasis on the role of echocardiography in routine surveillance.

Through case examples and image-based discussion, learners will analyze echocardiographic findings that support diagnosis, guide treatment planning, and contribute to long-term patient management.
