Blood pressure variability, prehypertension, and hypertension in adolescents
Medical conditions diagnosed during adolescence may have long term impacts on the health of an individual. As a result, identifying cardiovascular risk factors earlier in life such as prehypertension (pre-HTN) and hypertension (HTN) can have significant benefits across an individual's lifespan. Diagnosing elevated blood pressure (BP) during adolescence can be difficult, partially due to the nat...
متن کاملThe Role of Uric Acid in Hypertension of Adolescents, Prehypertension and Salt Sensitivity of Blood Pressure
Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism. Metabolic disorders of uric acid are associated with many disease states. Substantial evidence suggests the possible role of uric acid as a mediator of high blood pressure. Elevated uric acid is closely associated with new onset essential hypertension in adolescents and prehypertension; and urate-lowering agents can significantly improve these ...
متن کاملBlood pressure variability. Importance in research and in clinical hypertension.
mean value, but also 24h blood pressure variability seems to be independently related to the end organ damage of hypertension. This is illustrated in figure 1, which is taken from a study where 108 hypertensive patients underwent a 24h intra-arterial blood pressure monitoring in ambulatory conditions by Oxford technique 16. A score based on clinical and laboratory examinations was used to quant...
متن کاملBlood pressure variability and cardiovascular control mechanisms in hypertension.
Blood pressure variability is the result of a complex interaction between external stimulation and several cardiovascular control mechanisms and is enhanced in all those conditions characterized by an impaired autonomic regulation of circulation. In particular, blood pressure variability is enhanced in hypertension over 24 h and may independently contribute to the cardiovascular complications o...
متن کاملBlood pressure, hypertension, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in children and adolescents.
Fixed essential hypertension in children is uncommon. Confusion surrounding the definitions and tools used in measuring blood pressure (BP), and the variable capacity to apply the definitions despite the device used explains this in part. In children, hypertension is defined statistically, based on a large normative population that is ethnically diverse. The standards were developed from the fi...
