Hypertension is a common disease which may often be modified, sometimes cured and, perhaps in some cases, prevented.

Levels of blood pressure readings diagnostic of hypertension are suggested. The evaluation of hypertensive children is outlined. The classification and differential diagnosis of hypertension is reviewed. Current concepts in nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic therapy for hypertension in children and youths are presented. Therapy for acute hypertensive crisis is described.
