[The treatment of hypertension with captopril].
Short term response to single dose of Captopril has been studied in 7 severely hypertensive children. Blood pressure fell within one hour in patients with a non-hypervolemic state. Longterm treatment (average 19 months) of 5 children with refractory hypertension resulted in a sustained blood pressure control. No side-effects had been observed. It is concluded, that Captopril is useful in children with acute severe hypertension. Longterm treatment should be limited to children with refractory hypertension.
