[Hypertension in cardiovascular diseases].
The clinical signs of coarctation of the aorta are easy to recognize. Praeductal stenosis may be masked by patent duct in the newborn. The treatment is surgical. The indications for angiography and for surgery are determined by clinical findings and symptoms of hypertension or cardiac failure. Stenoses of the abdominal aorta or stenoses of other arteries causing hypertension are rare in comparison to classical coarctation. Since the life time expectancy is reduced and the complications of hypertension due to aortic or arterial stenosis are numerous and grave early detection and surgical treatment of this disease are mandatory.
