Endothelin 1, ST2, galectin 3, norepinephrine and B-natriuretic peptide are biomarkers that have been associated with pathologic LV change in adult populations but their predictive value following pediatric coarctation repair are not known.
SF significantly ameliorates myocardial hypertrophy caused by coarctation of the abdominal aorta; reduces concentrations of Ang II and ET-1; suppresses the overexpression of ANF, PKC-β, Raf-1, and ERK1/2; and increases the expression of MKP-1.
In patients with normal chromosomes, two had a single abnormal valve, and structural lesions included patent ductus arteriosus (3), ventricular septal defect (2), pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (1), transposition of the great arteries (1), and atrioventricular canal with patent ductus arteriosus and coarctation (1).
These results indicate that SF alleviates myocardial hypertrophy induced by coarctation of the abdominal aorta, and these protective effects could be related to the inhibition of PKC and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways.

Exercise capacity after coarctation repair relates to the c.46A > G genomic polymorphism of the ss2-adrenoreceptor and the c.704T > C angiotensinogen polymorphism.
Mutation analysis of the Jagged1 gene in this fourth reported patient with coarctation of the abdominal aorta in AGS and right subclavian stenosis identified a mutation deletion (1485 Del CT).
