Article Synopsis
- 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.
Purpose Of Review: Acute severe hypertension remains an uncommon but important source of morbidity and mortality in youth. However, there has been very little progress made in our understanding of how to best manage youth with acute severe hypertension to improve patient outcomes.
Recent Findings: Our understanding of what is acute severe hypertension is undergoing a philosophical change.
