HEART RATE AND LEFT VENTRICULAR REMODELING AFTER REPAIRED COARCTATION OF THE AORTA: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
This cross-sectional study reveals that in patients with repaired coarctation of the aorta, ventricular remodeling occurs despite normal central blood pressure and is independently associated with lower heart rates, suggesting that heart rate-mediated modulation of wave reflection timing is a key mechanistic and therapeutic target.
