Turner's Syndrome: Chromosomal disorder - Turner syndrome affects approximately 1 out of every 2,500 female live births worldwide. It embraces a broad spectrum of features, from major heart defects to minor cosmetic issues. The commenest heart condition is BICUSPID AORTIC VALVE! not Coarctation of Aorta
See this study below:
Pediatr Cardiol. 1999 Mar-Apr;20(2):108-12.: Study shows:
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (PAPVD; 2.9%),
Aortic valve disease (stenosis and/or incompetence) (AoVD; 5. 1%),
Aortic coarctation (AoCo; 4.4%),
Bicuspid aortic valve (BicAo; 14.7%) are much more frequent in Turner's syndrome than in the normal population, with the difference being statistically highly significant.
High Blood pressure is common because of heart or kidney issues
See and learn below: Magnetic resonance angiography showing the aortic coarctation.
