Vasoactive Factors and Blood Pressure in Children

Pediatric Hypertension

  • 124 Accesses

Abstract

Control of arterial blood pressure (BP) is accomplished by the net effect of vasodilator and vasoconstrictor substances. This chapter presents current data on the ontogeny of the most relevant vasoactive peptide systems in the systemic circulation and in the developing kidney, and highlights how any alteration in the integrity of vasomotor control may lead to deregulation of BP and associated hypertension in children.
