Paediatric hypertension: The importance of prevention and early diagnosis
2021
High Blood Pressure and Hypertension (HTN) in pediatrics are increasing as a result of sedentary
lifestyle associated with overweight and obesity that are becoming more prevalent in this population.
Despite being a silent disease, it is associated early on with end-organ injuries that increase
cardiovascular risk in adults and therefore lead to serious and sometimes fatal events. In addition to
prevention, the correct diagnosis and early therapeutics are of great importance. This article aims to
alert about the risks of high blood pressure in childhood and adolescence, preventive measures and
early interventions, especially in those with primary HTN.
