Sponsored by Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute · Observational
Approximately 200 children age 6 - \<18 years receiving medications for essential hypertension (HTN) will be recruited from the Pediatric Hypertension Clinic at the time of a routine clinic visit. Participating subjects will be asked to wear the ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) for 24 hours within 2 weeks of the qualifying visit. Measurements obtained with the ABPM will be compared to measurements obtained by routine clinical procedures documented in the subject's clinical chart. Kappa statistic will be utilized to compare differences in documented BP control between the two measures as well as changes in therapeutic management decisions by treating physicians with the addition of the ABPM readings. The overall goal is to confirm that ABPM leads to an increased detection of uncontrolled HTN along with a similar increase in adjustments increasing anti-hypertensive medication regimens.
