Management of arterial hypertension: practical aspects in young athletes
https://doi.org/10.21508/1027-4065-2022-67-5-130-134
Abstract
Regular physical activity has a positive effect on blood pressure, but despite this fact, arterial hypertension in athletes, including children and adolescents, is a common problem. It is known that an increase in blood pressure is the most common cardiac symptom detected on pre-competition examination or physical performance testing. The risk factors for hypertension in young athletes are generally similar to those in the child and adolescent population as a whole, but some risk factors exist that are specific to athletes. The article discusses the possibilities of admittance of young athletes to sports competitions and the main aspects of drug and non-drug therapy.
