ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Pediatric hypertension has been on the rise over the past four decades. While most cases are evaluated and managed in the primary healthcare setting, some children may be referred to the emergency department (ED) for an expedited workup of elevated blood pressure or for management of hypertensive crisis. RECENT FINDINGS:
Acute severe hypertension without end-organ damage and hypertensive emergency are life-threatening conditions that healthcare providers must be prepared to accurately recognize and treat as pediatric hypertension increases in prevalence. In this article, we review the most recent definitions of elevated blood pressure and hypertension and discuss the updated literature on the evaluation and management of hypertension and hypertensive crisis of children in the ED.Palabras clave
