Session

Description: Unexpectedly elevated blood pressure is a common situation in pediatrics. While often evaluated and managed in isolation, numerous non-renal diseases, and their directed therapies can cause blood pressure dysregulation that may be transient or sustained. Understanding when to have increased index of suspicion for sustained hypertension as well as knowing when medications or other therapies need to be modified to avoid hypertension target organ damage is critical to optimizing care. This symposium will address some of the common scenarios where hypertension may impact therapy of diseases not traditionally thought to involve high blood pressure.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will be able to diagnose and manage hypertension in hospitalized children.
Upon completion, participants will be able to mitigate the risk factors for future hypertension in solid organ transplant recipients.
Upon completion, participants will be able to manage the unique cardiovascular risk factors or patients with Turner syndrome.
