Se presenta un caso de coartación aórtica del adulto en un paciente remitido a nuestra consulta por presentar cifras tensionales persistentemente elevadas en el marco de una hipertensión arterial (HTA) de 14 años de evolución. Se procede al interrogatorio y exploración fisica, donde se sospecha la coartación aortica, confirmándose ésta por las pruebas complementarias, realizándose su correción quirúrgica. Tras la misma, el paciente se presenta asintomático con muy buen control de presión arterial. Se plantea la importancia de realizar interrogatorio y examen físico concienzudo en un paciente joven con HTA, por el rendimiento que presenta una adecuada anamnesis, para orientar el correcto diagnóstico y tratamiento de la HTA secundaria.

Palabras clave:
