Resumen: 1. Case itself
Arterial hypertension (HBP) is a major cardiovascular risk factor that affects a high percentage of the adult population [1]. In the last decades, an increase in blood pressure (BP) has been observed in children and adolescents, which supports the recommendation that BP should be measured in children during clinical examinations [2]. HBP is also a cardiovascular risk factor in children and adolescents and may lead to the development of HBP in adulthood [2]. Therefore, HBP in childhood should be prevented to reduce cardiovascular risk in adulthood. Then, it is necessary to define the parameters that identify the children at high cardiovascular risk [3]. In Aragon–a northern province of Spain–sports medical exams (SME) are massively performed on schoolchildren following a protocol that includes measurement of blood pressure at rest and after submaximal exercise testing (Astrand Step Test). The aim of sports medical exams is to promote early detection through screening and determine the subject's suitability for physical activity. Although the SME report includes the measurement of exercise blood pressure (EBP), there are no reference values for BP levels in children and adolescents. The only reference values available are for healthy adults and adults with cardiovascular disease...
