The Hypertension in children and adolescents CPG has been updated.

The Key points for the CPG are

1. Severe hypertension requires urgent consultation and management.  Hypertension associated with encephalopathy is a medical emergency
2. All hypertension in children requires monitoring and follow-up
3. Blood pressure should be measured annually in healthy children
4. Where possible, abnormal machine BP measurement should be confirmed, preferably with a manual BP, ensuring appropriately sized cuff is used for accurate measurement

This CPG was previously called Hypertension.
