Description

This highly detailed anatomical visualization depicts coarctation of the aorta, a congenital heart defect characterized by the narrowing of the aortic arch. The image highlights the structural impact of this condition, showing how the constriction restricts blood flow, forcing the heart to work harder to pump oxygenated blood to the lower body. This visualization is ideal for medical education, cardiology studies, and clinical reference, offering a clear and insightful look into the cardiovascular system’s adaptation to congenital defects. Understanding coarctation of the aorta is crucial for diagnosing complications such as hypertension, heart failure, and aneurysm formation.
