Abstract
Treatment-resistant hypertension (TRH) is a well-described condition in adult patients that is associated with poor clinical outcomes. While case reports of hypertension resistant to therapy in children have been published, it is unclear if TRH truly exists in childhood. This educational review will briefly summarize recent evidence and recommendations for TRH in adults, as well as will review the literature regarding medically resistant hypertension in children and adolescents. Finally, we propose a clinical approach for evaluation hypertensive children and adolescents with apparent treatment resistance.Entities:
