title: [Occult arterial hypertension after repaired aortic coarctation].
abstract: Coarctation of the aorta, repaired in childhood, is a congenital heart disease frequently seen in adulthood. In these patients there is a higher incidence of hypertension during daily activities and exercise despite a correct surgical repair. Since hypertension may only be seen by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (occult arterial hypertension) we should also look for indirect signs, such as the development of left ventricular hypertrophy.
