High Blood Pressure in Children
What causes?
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, was once considered an uncommon disease in childhood, but is now increasingly recognized as an important and preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in both children and adults. It is important to recognize the causes of hypertension in children, since some of these conditions can be managed medically or surgically. The younger the patient, the more likely the cause of hypertension can be corrected.
Normal blood pressure increases from birth through adolescence, so the definition of high blood pressure correlates with patient age. In 2004, the National Institute of Health National niñosHipertensión Sphygmomanometer for Blood Pressure Education Program issued new definitions of hypertension in children.
Is defined as mean systolic blood pressure or diastolic is above 95 percentile for sex, age and height on three occasions. The pre-hypertension in children is defined as average levels of systolic or diastolic blood that are higher than the 90 percentile but below the 95 percentile. As with adults, adolescents with BP levels greater or equal to 120/80 mm Hg is considered pre-hypertension. Read the rest of this entry »

Secondary Hypertension
Yesterday we talked about the most common type of hypertension: primary hypertension. Today we see the causes and risk factors in the development of secondary hypertension.
This type of hypertension suffer 20% of hypertensives and the most important cause of disease or appearance is a health situation that favors development.
Among the risk factors for secondary hypertension are:
- Toxemia in pregnancy, ie the emergence of high pressure in pregnant women with no medical history of hypertension in your family.
- Stress is another factor that can lead to secondary hypertension, as well as workaholism and hyperactivity.
