| The Brain and Hypertension |
| PAS Topic Symposium |
| Vancouver Convention Centre ~ 119/120 |
| |
| Target Audience: Clinicians caring for children with hypertension and those at risk for development of hypertension due to medications that affect the central nervous system. |
| |
| Objectives:
- Recognize the impact of hypertension on neurocognition and the brain [br]- Understand the effects that ADHD medications have on blood pressure and the risk for hypertension [br]- Appreciate the central nervous system effects of antihypertensive medications, and [br]- Recognize the short and long term outcomes of hypertensive encephalopathy |

| Chair: Donald L. Batisky, Emory Children's Center, Atlanta, GA |
| |
| The primary focus of this symposium will be on effects of hypertension on the brain and central nervous system as a target organ. Various aspects of the effects of hypertension on the brain in the pediatric population will be explored, such as neurocognition in the patient with hypertension. Some therapies for conditions affecting the central nervous system such as stimulant therapy in attention deficit disorders may result in elevated blood pressure, so it is important to recognize these factors. There are a number of centrally active antihypertensives that will be reviewed, and one of the more dramatic results of hypertension, PRES (posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome) as a manifestation of hypertensive encephalopthy, will be discussed as well. |
