Abstract
Coarctation of the aorta is a congenital cardiac
malformation that can go undiagnosed with only
hypertension as a marker of its presence, because clinical
signs can be subtle and overlooked if a complete physical
examination is not performed. Here we present a case report
of 20 year old young male patient with hypertension who
was diagnosed to have Coarctation of Aorta and Bicuspid
aortic Valve.Our patient was relatively asymptomatic until
he presented with headache and exertional dyspnoea.
