Journal Title: Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2011, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
[i]The renewed interest in hypertension in children and adolescents has resulted from the recognition that its presence in adults often has its roots at a younger age. Accurate measurement of blood pressure in children is essential to establish a diagnosis and it should be based on an appropriate technique and comparison to well established population-based standards. The causes are multiple in young children and a thorough evaluation of possible primary causes is imperative.[/i]
