Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypertension in Children

Abstract: Hypertension is a global problem, affecting both developed and developing nations. In children and adolescents, hypertension has gained ground in cardiovascular medicine, thanks to the progress made in several areas of pathophysiologic and clinical research. Childhood hypertension is often asymptomatic and is easily missed, even by health professionals. Target organ damage is detectable in children and adolescents. Management of hypertension includes lifestyle changes and pharmacologic treatment. In the case o… Show more

“…9 Recommendations for regular early health screenings that include BP measurements have been made for children as young as preschool students; however, there are few mandatory, national, school-based health screenings that include BP measurements. 14,15 Fortunately, anthropometry is currently part of the mandated fitness measurements in California and Delaware. The FITNESSGRAM is currently being used by many school districts nationwide and, thus, could be used as a medium for screening for EBP risk.…”

“…La obesidad y el sobrepeso se definieron segú n las categorías de IMC de la International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) 23,24 . La obesidad se definió tambié n con otros mé todos para estudiar las diferencias respecto a los criterios de la IOTF: percentil 97 del IMC de Españ a 25 , valores de corte de GC específicos para edad y sexo de Taylor 19 , valores de corte de GC específicos para el sexo de Williams 20 , valores de corte de GC específicos para el sexo de Dwyer y Blizzard 12,13,26 y valores de perímetro de la cintura específicos para edad y sexo de Fredriks 7 . La presió n arterial se determinó despué s de que los niñ os se hubieran relajado durante 5-10 min y se encontraran có modos con los nutricionistas y familiarizados con el dispositivo.…”

“…Los valores medios de PAS y PAD en los niñ os y las niñ as de nuestra muestra son superiores a los valores está ndares de Españ a en ese mismo grupo de edad (PAS/PAD: niñ os, 93/53,5 en 3 añ os; 95,3/50,6 en 4 añ os; 99,6/56,2 en 5 añ os; niñ as, 90,9/52,9 en 3 añ os, 93,2/48,7 en 4 añ os; 99,6/54,1 en 5 añ os) 40 , lo que puede reflejar la tendencia al aumento de las cifras de presió n arterial que se ha producido en las ú ltimas dé cadas 43 . La asociació n entre presió n arterial e indicadores de ECV como el tamañ o corporal o la adiposidad no se ha establecido aú n para niñ os, pero la asociació n con el peso corporal o el IMC es intensa 19 . En esta muestra, las niñ as y los niñ os con los valores má s altos de IMC presentaban cifras elevadas de PAS y PAD y, por lo tanto, un aumento del riesgo de hipertensió n; esta asociació n era especialmente intensa en el grupo de 5 añ os.…”

“…When the elevated blood pressure readings are repeated and consistently high, the usual cause in adolescents is familial or secondary to obesity. In younger children, the etiology is often organic, caused by renal disease (68%), endocrine (1%), renovascular (10%), and then cardiac, neurologic or pharmacologic (7).…”
