The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake. Due to a production error, the wrong “Key summary points” were included. The correct key summary points are listed below.
Key summary points:
-
1.
Accurate identification of abnormal blood pressure in neonates requires comparison with values obtained in neonates of similar post-menstrual age.
-
2.
Evaluation of a neonate with suspected hypertension begins with careful blood pressure measurement and then proceeds through history, physical examination, laboratory testing, and selected imaging.
-
3.
While many antihypertensive medications have been applied to the treatment of hypertensive neonates, almost none has been systematically studied in this patient population.
-
4.
Available data indicate that most hypertensive neonates will resolve their hypertension over the first 6–12 months of life.
