1. During a physical examination lab, a medical student was found to have
hypertension in his upper extremities, decreased and delayed pulses in the
femoral arteries and a mid systolic murmur heard over the chest and back.
He had been fairly healthy but recently had noticed pain in his calves on
exercising. What is a possible etiology for these findings?
2. What is a common chest X-ray finding in the ribs with this condition?
3. What are potential complications?
