Blood pressure measures how hard the heart is working, and how healthy the arteries are. There are two numbers in each blood pressure measurement:

• The first (top) number is the systolic blood pressure, which measures the force of blood released when the heart beats.
• The second (bottom) number is the diastolic pressure, which measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest.

Blood pressure measurements are written this way: 120/80. One or both of these numbers can be too high.

Several factors affect blood pressure, including:

• Hormones
• The health of the heart and blood vessels
• The health of the kidneys

High blood pressure in infants may be due to kidney or heart disease that is present at birth (congenital). Common examples include:

• Coarctation of the aorta (narrowing of the large blood vessel of the heart called the aorta)
• Patent ductus arteriosus (blood vessel between the aorta and pulmonary artery that should close after birth, but remains open)
• Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (lung condition that affects newborn babies who were either put on a breathing machine after birth or were born very early)
• Kidney disease involving the kidney tissue
• Renal artery stenosis (narrowing of the major blood vessel of the kidney)

In newborn babies, high blood pressure is often caused by a blood clot in a kidney blood vessel, a complication of having an umbilical artery catheter.
