NO BLOOD PRESSURE CONTROL IT IS COMMON IN CHILDREN. HOWEVER, THERE ARE GUYS WHO SUFFER FROM CHILDHOOD HYPERTENSION. SEPA DETECTING AND REVERSE THIS DISEASE THAT IN SOME CASE IS A PRODUCT OF HEREDITY AND OTHERS, OF BAD EATING HABITS AND LIFE.
is a silent disease, which is acting without visible from an early age because, although it is believed the opposite, high blood pressure is not exclusive to adults. May appear in childhood and heart and kidney damage severe enough to require a transplant or, conversely, to be perpetuated without causing major problems.
What are the causes of childhood hypertension
The truth is that were difficult to detect in its origins, simply because the diagnosis is made based on pressure control and are not yet many pediatricians that included in routine examinations. According to a study by a team of Arterial Hypertension of the Hospital de Niños Ricardo Gutiénez in three schools in Vicente López, half of the 1,200 children studied, whose ages ranged between 13 and 18, had never checked the pressure and 8, 5 percent of them had blood pressure levels that included in the category of hypertension. Fortunately, practitioners began to reverse this attitude of some neglect in recent years and started a trend to include taking blood pressure checks.
When this is not met, parents should request it at every pediatric visit, especially if a family history. When a parent or grandparent showed signs of hypertension before the age of fifty, it is likely that children with inherited predisposition to disease, without this meaning a conviction, because inheritance is not required. Sometimes what is transmitted is more linked to poor eating habits or lifestyle characterized as risky for the disease to be installed. Also, there are families whose normal pressure is a deviation from the norm, but this does disease.
However, since the gene confirmed the presence of several genes responsible for hypertension, hypertensive children became the focus of numerous investigations. A high percentage of arterial structure they inherited from their parents, and the difficulty to filter renal sodium. This makes them "salt-sensitive", meaning that its pressure rises to the presence of sodium, hence salt-restricted diet is a vital need since the early years.
But experts gathered recently at the Council on High Blood Pressure Research, Philadelphia, ensure more effective than leaving the salt, is to include foods rich in potassium, such as green vegetables and fruits. In both, early diagnosis is the only way to detect the condition and initiate appropriate treatment.
Today, the disease can be controlled by a therapeutic arsenal that includes medications without significant side effects and changes in lifestyle. This implies a systematic program of exercise, healthy eating and reduction in salt intake.
