RESUMEN
El rotular a un niño o adolescente de hipertenso no es una tarea fácil en la actualidad. Sabemos que el pilar para el diagnóstico de Hipertensión Arterial sigue siendo la presión arterial de consultorio; pero tenemos que tener en cuenta que, por su escasa reproducibilidad éste método tiene limitaciones. Hoy existen métodos complementarios reproducibles, validados y confiables como el Monitoreo Ambulatorio de la Presión Arterial (MAPA) y el Monitoreo Domiciliario de la Presión Arterial (MDPA) menos difundido en pediatría, que nos ayudan a llegar a un diagnostico correcto (AU)
ABSTRACT
Diagnosis of a hypertensive child or adolescent is not an easy task today. We know that the mainstay for diagnosing arterial hypertension remains the measuring of blood pressure at the office; however, it is necessary to bear in mind that, because of its low reproducibility, this method has limitations. Today there are reproducible, validated, and reliable complementary methods, such as ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM), that are less widespread in pediatrics, which may be helpful to make an adequate diagnosis.(AU)
