Coarctation of the Aorta is a congenital condition where a part of the aorta is narrowed, obstructing normal blood flow from the heart to the lower part of the body. This narrowing typically occurs near the area where the ductus arteriosus joins the aorta. As a result, the heart has to work harder to pump blood through the narrowed section, leading to increased blood pressure in the upper body and decreased blood flow to the lower body. If untreated, this condition can cause complications such as hypertension, heart failure, or aneurysms. Explore how this condition affects the circulatory system with our 3D model of Coarctation of the Aorta.
