Arterial hypertension in paediatric patients
- Ústav farmakologie, LF UP a FN Olomouc
Arterial hypertension is a chronic disease affecting mainly adult patients. However, during the 21st century, the prevalence of the disease is also increasing in paediatric patients, so it is important to keep it in mind in practice. The role of the general practitioner for children and adolescents is absolutely crucial. He/she should be the first one to catch the elevated blood pressure value. The prevalence of secondary hypertension is higher in small children. On the contrary, primary hypertension is more common in adolescents. Therapy is necessary mainly to prevent complications which can arise in childhood, but the risks in a long-time period are significantly higher.
Keywords: arterial hypertension, children, blood pressure, regime measures.
