Hypertension in children and adolescents has become more commonplace, and it is a disease that directly causes target organ damage, is associated with premature vascular disease and places the affected child at greater risk for hypertension and its complications as an adult.

The new edition follows the second edition by only 2–3 years but is clearly updated from the prior edition of the book published in 2011 – there are several new chapters, and some previous chapters have been modifi ed and have new authors.
