Description

About 15% of children globally have high blood pressure and many may not know it until it causes problems in adult life. Early detection is therefore critical to prevent cardio-vascular disease. PhD candidate, Jonathan Glenning from the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute’s Heart Research Group gives us an overview of high blood pressure in children and talks about his vision of drastically increasing the rate of childhood blood pressure monitoring.
