Resumo

Estudos epidemiológicos envolvendo medida de pressão arterial em crianças e adolescentes têm demonstrado que o valor da medida de pressão arterial na infância constitui-se no maior preditor dos níveis pressóricos do adulto. A hipertensão arterial no adulto eleva em duas a três vezes o risco individual de desenvolvimento de morbidade cardiovascular. O risco cardiovascular depende da pressão arterial propriamente dita, de fatores coexistentes e da presença de lesão instalada de órgãos-alvo. A acurácia na determinação da pressão arterial é, portanto, mandatória e um protocolo estruturado e padronizado para sua obtenção deveria ser estabelecido, possibilitando a comparação de resultados de estudos realizados em diferentes países. Este artigo discute os maiores determinantes da precisão de medida da pressão arterial casual e ambulatorial na criança.
