Deveremos avaliar a pressão arterial no recém‐nascido?

The authors present this case emphasising the fact that the arterial hypertension diagnose in infants is not always easy, questioning the current recommendations relating to an initial evaluation on blood pressure. We postulate that the assessment of blood pressure in newborns can detect early renovascular hypertension (and even other cardiovascular diseases) and help prevent the development of deleterious effects, including fatal episodes.
