Abstract:
Hypertension in children is defined as systolic blood pressure and/ or diastolic blood pressure≥95th percentile for age,gender and height,on at least 3 occasions. Persistent hypertension despite non - pharmacologic measures should be treated with anti - hypertensive drugs. Angiotensin - converting enzyme inhibitors,angiotensin receptor blockers,calcium channel blockers,β - blockers and diuretics are safe,effective,and well tolerated in children. This article describes the selection and clinical application of anti - hypertensive drugs in children.
