Coarctation of the aorta

Chest

Blood Vessels & Circulation

Coarctation of the aorta is a narrowing of the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the body. It can be mild and go undetected into adulthood. An MRI may show changes in the width of the aorta consistent with narrowing. Identifying aortic narrowing early may allow for treatment before it leads to high blood pressure or heart strain.

SCReening explained

It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
