Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to hypertension in children and adolescents, a clinical issue that – thanks to the strides made in several areas of pathophysiological and clinical research – has received growing interest in cardiovascular medicine over the last several years. Given the increasing prevalence of hypertension in children and adolescents, this book represents an important and useful tool to address what has become a significant public health issue. It covers a diverse range of topics, from advances in the definition of hypertension and the identification of new risk factors, to current treatment strategies. The book also presents an overview of the latest findings, including the clinical significance of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) in youth, the importance of out-of-office and central blood pressure measurement, new methods for assessing vascular phenotypes, and clustering of CV risk factors. Gathering contributions by international experts and pursuing a practice-oriented approach, the book offers a valuable tool for cardiologists, pediatricians and nephrologists, as well as general practitioners.

Download or read book Pediatric Hypertension written by Ronald J. Portman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-06-12 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of hypertension in children and adolescents is becoming incre- ingly recognized by physicians and scientists in the 21st century. However, in contrast to the attention that hypertension has received in the adult population for the past three decades since the first Joint National Committee (JNC) report, research and clinical knowledge that involves hypertension in children is still very much in its own childhood. Pediatric Hypertension, edited by Drs. Portman, Sorof, and Ingelfinger, is undoubtedly the most up-to-date and clinically relevant contribution to the field of hypertension in children available because it brings together the numerous pathophysiologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic advances in the evaluation of high blood pressure in infants, children, and adolescents. The editors have carefully organized their volume into sections that cover blood pressure regulation in infants and children, blood pressure measurement issues, pat- physiology and clinical assessment for essential and secondary forms of hypertension during childhood, and nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic approaches to the tre- ment of hypertension in children.

Download or read book Blood Pressure Levels in Children written by Bushra Minhaji and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood pressure (BP) is the force exerted by the blood against any unit area of the vessel wall. In children and adolescents, the normal range of blood pressure (BP) is determined by body size and age. BP standards that are based on gender, age, and height provide a more precise classification of BP according to body size. Studies investigating blood pressure levels in children have revealed wide variation in distribution of systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as in the timing of spurt in mean blood pressure levels. Current guidelines define childhood hypertension as persistence of elevation of blood pressure above 95th percentile for age, gender and height. Our aim of the present study is to study the blood pressure levels in apparently healthy school children, to determine the prevalence and correlation of high blood pressure levels among children with different nutritional status and to evaluate the strength of the relationship between blood pressure and various anthropometric indicators.

Download or read book Hypertension in children written by Sics Editore and published by SICS Editore. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential hypertension is quite rare in childhood or adolescence. A secondary cause behind the raised blood pressure should therefore be searched, e.g. renal disease, aortic coarcation, endocrine causes, raised intracranial pressure etc. Blood pressure medication should not be commenced before aetiological examinations have been conducted in specialist care. Further examinations conducted by a specialist are needed if the blood pressure values measured in a child exceed the 95th percentile values repeatedly (table ).
