Abstract:
With the development of society and the improvement of disease cognition level，hypertension has become a major public health issue worldwide.In recent years，the incidence of pediatric primary hypertension has increased year by year.The onset is obscure，and progress is slow，and early symptoms are difficult to detect，leading to low outpatient rate.In the end，it will develop to adult hypertension，which is related to cardiovascular diseases.Drug therapy is one of the important methods for primary pediatric hypertension，but most of medications used to cure adult hypertension lack pediatric verification of efficacy and safety.But in recent years，with the progress of research on pediatric hypertension，the medication therapy has also made impressive progress.This article reviews the progress of medication treatment for pediatric hypertension from aspects of diagnostic criteria，clinical classification，indication for medical therapy，and individualized therapy of medications for pediatric hypertension in China and abroad.
