A member asked:
How does a doctor check femoral pulses for aortic coarctation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Using fingers:: During a physical exam, the doctor may find that a person with a coarctation has higher blood pressure in the arms than in the legs. The doctor also might hear a heart murmur or notice that the pulses felt in the groin area or on the feet are weak or even absent.
