Severe coarctation of the aorta without a severely elevated echocardiographic pressure gradient: a case highlighting the importance of aortic Doppler flow profile

An asymptomatic 5-year-old male was diagnosed with severe coarctation of the aorta despite normal peak flow velocity with pathology identified on the basis of Doppler flow profile.
