OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the determinants of hypertension during daily life and left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy in patients with successfully repaired coarctation of the aorta (CoA), as well as their relationship to abnormalities of arterial function.BACKGROUND Arterial hypertension may recur late after repair of CoA, which is related to a more adverse outcome. Furthermore, patients with normal resting blood pressure (BP) may have hypertension during daily life and LV hypertrophy. The determinants of these two adverse prognostic factors have not been investigated.METHODS We studied 72 patients (9 to 58 years of age) who underwent coarctation repair at age 0.1 to 480 months (42 [60%] at
