Resumen
Objetivo: Evaluar los retos en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la hipertensión arterial primaria pediátrica, considerando la efectividad del diagnóstico, la adherencia al tratamiento, la calidad de vida, el control de la presión arterial y el impacto a largo plazo. Métodos: Se trata de una revisión integradora desarrollada mediante la búsqueda en la base de datos PubMed, utilizando la siguiente estrategia de búsqueda (((Hypertension) AND ((Child) OR (Adolescent)) AND (((Treatment) AND (Diagnosis) OR (Management)) NOT ((Adulto) OR (Recién nacido) OR (Embarazo)). Se encontraron 3075 artículos, 60 de los cuales fueron preseleccionados tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Se eliminaron 41 tras la lectura y el análisis iniciales, con un total de 19 para el análisis completo. Resultados: Los estudios señalan la relación entre la obesidad y el sedentarismo y los casos de hipertensión pediátrica. Al tratarse de una enfermedad silente con síntomas inespecíficos, el tratamiento y abordaje tardíos pueden conducir a un aumento de los eventos cardiovasculares. Se hace hincapié en las medidas dietéticas como principal abordaje terapéutico, con pocos estudios centrados en los fármacos utilizados cuya seguridad está confirmada. Consideraciones finales: Se subraya la importancia de los cambios en el estilo de vida, así como de las medidas de cribado rigurosas para prevenir futuras complicaciones.
