Implication

May support echocardiographic assessment in hypertensive adolescents; leaves open prospective outcome validation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Children and adolescents with hypertension
I
Intervention
Echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular mass index (LVMI)
O
Outcome
Left ventricular hypertrophy and abnormal left ventricular geometrysurrogate

Echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular mass index is crucial in pediatric hypertension to detect highly prevalent left ventricular hypertrophy.
