This constriction can occur anywhere along its entire length; however, it is more common between the origin of the left subclavian artery and the ductus arteriosus. Its incidence corresponds to 3 cases per 10,000 births. Thus, it is a common cardiopathy, but with high mortality and morbidity rates, which are related to a failure in the early diagnosis.  METHOD: In the research, articles of the national and international literature in Pubmed, Scielo and Lilacs databases were selected using the following descriptors: coarctation, aorta, diagnosis, heart diseases, congenital abnormalities.  RESULTS: The pathophysiology of CoA and its systemic implications in the life of newborn and adults are well elucidated. However, due to the lack of habit to palpate pulses and to check the blood pressure in both upper and lower limbs during the physical examination, it is still a pathology little diagnosed in childhood. There are several techniques used in the repair of coarctation, each with their specifics, although, when not treated, aneurysms, heart failure, coronary diseases, and stroke are the main complications arising from the evolution of this pathology, which explains the low survival rate of these patients.  CONCLUSION: Coarctation of the aorta is, therefore, a cardiac malformation of significant importance due to its incidence and its significant mortality risk. In this sense, the early diagnosis stands out as an essential piece for better prognosis of the patient.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1806-9282.65.2.240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,16]],"date-time":"2019-03-16T16:26:17Z","timestamp":1552753577000},"page":"240-245","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The importance of the early diagnosis of aorta coarctation"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"65","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5974-6382","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luana Resende","family":"Canguss\u00fa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Vale do S\u00e3o Francisco,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3719-4131","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matheus Rodrigues","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Vale do S\u00e3o Francisco,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6386-8550","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Romero Henrique de Almeida","family":"Barbosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Vale do S\u00e3o Francisco,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"589","DOI":"10.1016\/j.echo.2017.01.019","article-title":"Diagnostic approach in fetal coarctation of the aorta: a cost-utility analysis","volume":"30","author":"Evers PD","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Am Soc Echocardiogr."},{"issue":"3","key":"ref2","first-page":"340","article-title":"Aortic coarctation.
