The prevalence of elevated blood pressure in children and adolescents is more common than previously believed and often represents the early onset of essential hypertension, particularly in adolescents. The definition of hypertension in children is based on distribution criteria and normalcy tables that provide blood pressure percentiles for each measurement method (office, ambulatory and home) according to the individual’s age, gender and body size. Owing to the white coat and masked hypertension phenomena, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is indispensable for the diagnosis of hypertension in children. Home blood pressure monitoring in children has been less well studied, and at present, treatment decisions should not be based solely on such measurements.
Salt, the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system and resistant hypertension
Por: Tatsuo Shimosawa. Hypertension Research (2013) 36, 657–660.
High salt intake is a risk for developing resistant hypertension, and even under triple therapy with diuretics, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker and a calcium channel blocker, the volume is occasionally not controlled. In such cases, a mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist additively lowers the circulating blood volume and blood pressure despite the lower circulating aldosterone level. This mechanism may be explained by the increase in the number of MR under some conditions or the activation of these receptors independent of aldosterone.

Cost-Effectiveness of Renin-Guided Treatment of Hypertension
Por: Steven M. Smith y Jonathan D. Campbell. American Journal of Hypertension, volume 26, Issue 11, pp. 1303-1310.
A plasma renin activity (PRA)–guided strategy is more effective than standard care in treating hypertension (HTN). However, its clinical implementation has been slow, presumably due in part to economic concerns. We estimated the cost effectiveness of a PRA-guided treatment strategy compared with standard care in a treated but uncontrolled HTN population. Our results suggest that PRA-guided therapy compared with standard care increases QALYs and medical costs in most scenarios. PRA-guided therapy appears to be most cost effective in younger persons and those with more cardiovascular risk factors.
