Pediatric Hypertension

For the past 17 years, Pediatric Hypertension has stood as the definitive reference text on hypertension in children and adolescents. Each edition incorporates the latest research on the pathophysiology, clinical significance, and innovative management techniques for hypertension in the young, aligning with the most current consensus guidelines on diagnosis and treatment.

The years since the publication of the fourth edition have witnessed significant advances in the field, which are thoroughly explored in this updated and expanded text. This fifth edition includes:

• Analysis of the implications of updated hypertension guidelines on identifying youth at the highest cardiovascular risk
• Additional data on the immediate effects of high blood pressure in children and adolescents
• Further understanding of the links between high blood pressure in youth and surrogate markers of adult cardiovascular disease

The fifth edition is a readable and informative text offering a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis, management, and therapy of hypertension in children and adolescents. It presents new data that clearly indicate the origins of adult cardiovascular disease are rooted in pediatric hypertension. This makes it indispensable for therapeutic decisions and highly relevant for practitioners in internal medicine who care for millions of adults with hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease.

This edition fulfills the longstanding goal of emphasizing that hypertension beginning in childhood is crucial to track, diagnose, and treat. Current understandings of adult hypertension necessitate the study of blood pressure in youth, making this book essential for researchers and practitioners alike.

Maintaining a similar structural format to prior editions, the fifth edition covers all aspects of pediatric hypertension—from basic science research to the latest clinical information—making it a must-have resource for healthcare professionals
