Hypertension Juvenile

Juvenile hypertension or (hypertension) youthful (lat. hypertenzio juvênis, hereinafter also often abbreviated as hypertension juv. or hypertension of youth a) is a state of increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure at a young age, characterized by a long-term increase in its level. This condition is not an independent disease, but occurs in many pathological processes of the cardiovascular system as an auxiliary factor accompanying increased pressure in various heart defects, hypertension, atherosclerosis and other vascular lesions. Clinically, juvenile hypertension is often manifested by rapid growth of the patient, sweating and fatigue, and sleep disturbances. It should be noted that this disease can also occur in young people without any heart or vascular disorders. Before starting treatment, it is necessary to establish a diagnosis. To do this, the doctor will prescribe a series of studies that will accurately determine the type of disease, as well as the degree of its severity. Treatment is prescribed only after all necessary studies have been carried out. The age characteristics of the patient, the severity of the disease, the presence of concomitant diseases and the individual characteristics of the body must be taken into account.
