- The study highlights the unknown long-term effects of hypertension in youth, despite its rising rates and high adult cardiovascular mortality.
- The Study of the Epidemiology of Pediatric Hypertension (SUPERHERO) aims to address past research limitations by gathering a large, diverse registry of youth with hypertension through standardized electronic health records.
- SUPERHERO focuses on improving cardiovascular outcomes and developing top-notch biomedical informatics methods for managing youth hypertension, with inclusion criteria for patients under 19 with specific hypertension disorders.
