Arterial hypertension is the main cause of cardiovascular problems in adults. To better know the scope of arterial hypertension in children in our midst, the authors measured the arterial blood pressure in 8642 Panamanian children between 1 month and 18 years of age and studied the principal causes of arterial hypertension. The authors propose norms for the identification and clinical and pharmacological management of arterial hypertension in Panamanian children.
