Summary: Hypertension in children is a relatively uncommon condition but its prevalence is increasing with the rising rates of excess weight during childhood.

This article presents a systematic approach to the evaluation of a child with arterial hypertension, highlighting important points on history and examination, out-of-office monitoring and baseline investigations before consideration for more detailed investigations and treatment.
