Hypertension Clinic
Our Hypertension Clinic provides coordinated, outpatient care for children and teens who have, or are at risk of developing, high blood pressure.
Our team evaluates and treats children and teens with:
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Cardiovascular risk factors related to other conditions, such as:
- Renal insufficiency/failure
- Solid organ transplantation
- Coarctation of the aorta
- Sickle cell disease
We take a big picture approach, focusing on long-term heart health. Caring for your child’s heart health while they're young allows us to start treatment — like medications or lifestyle changes — quickly. This early intervention helps prevent future heart problems, such as heart attack and stroke.
How we serve you
The Hypertension Clinic is part of the Cardiac Center's Preventive Cardiovascular Program. We’ll work closely with your child’s primary healthcare team to develop a personalized treatment and monitoring plan. Our goal is to help you and your child maintain a healthy lifestyle well beyond your first clinic visit.
Meet your team
This clinic is a cutting-edge partnership between the Division of Nephrology and the Cardiac Center. All of our team members have special expertise in managing hypertension. We make sure your child gets the highest level of care.
