The risk for complications due to chronic hypertension is well known by now, and screening would be nice to increase because of this. But are we just accepting that children have more hypertension now? Should we investigate and address root causes? Is it due to increased childhood obesity or high cholesterol? Chronic stress? Could we improve those to lower blood pressure in the first place instead of just screen and prescribe?
