title: [Hypertension outpatient clinic for children and adolescents. Analysis of nearly 10 years of monitoring].
abstract: 314 children with hypertension living in an urban district have been transmitted to our out patient clinic. These children were discovered by regularly performed examinations of the medical youth care since 1979. We found a secondary cause of hypertension in 2.2 per cent. Risk factors, as for example familiar disposition, hyperlipidaemia, smoking and overweight, were also analysed. A dynamic exercise-test was performed by means of bicycle-ergometry. 43 per cent of the children with elevated blood pressure in rest reacted with hypertension during exercise. Criteria for drug-therapy were the unsuccessful non-medicamentous effects on the hypertension and a hypertension exercise-test. After 2-5 years 55.9 per cent of all children with elevated blood pressure of the beginning of our study became normotensive without drug-therapy.
