title: [Value of exercise echocardiography in aortic recoarctation--case report].
abstract: In this article the authors present a case study of a young man with coarctation of the aorta that underwent surgical correction at 4 months old, for whom the exercise echocardiogram was important in determining the functional importance of recoarctation and the decision of the timing for re-intervention, demonstrating the importance of this technique to discriminate the functional significance of this pathology.
