| Neonatal and Infant Hypertension |
| PAS Topic Symposium |
| Vancouver Convention Centre ~ 119/120 |
| |
| Target Audience: Clinicians involved with the care of newborns and infants with hypertension. |
| |
| Objectives:
- Appreciate normative blood pressure data in newborns and infants and how to assess these data in the context of different measurement techniques [br]- Assess both the risks and benefits of antihypertensive medications (CCBs and ACE-inhibiting medications) in neonates and infants [br]- Evaluate the management of hypertension in NICU graduates and [br]- Understand the impact of the maternal treatment of hypertension as a risks to the developing fetus |

| This symposium will focus on hypertension in the neonate and infant. Assessing blood pressure and normative data may be challenging in the neonate and infant, as there is a need to take into account gestational age as well as chronologic age for these patients. The risks and benefits of pharmacologic therapy will be discussed as well, given than the premature infant or young infant is still undergoing nephrogenesis and maturation of a number of systems including the renin-angiotensin system. There may also be factors impacting the fetus carried by a mother who has hypertension. Many of those infants diagnosed as neonates will eventually have resolution of their hypertension, but until they do, there is a need to optimize follow-up while minimizing risks. |
