The progress in research on the physiology of the cardiovascular system made in the last 100 years allowed for the development of the pathogenesis not only of secondary forms of hypertension but also of primary hypertension.
The main determinants of blood pressure are described by the relationship between stroke volume, heart rate, peripheral resistance, and arterial stiffness.
The theories developed by Guyton and Folkow describe the importance of the volume factor and total peripheral resistance.
However, none of them fully presents the pathogenesis of essential hypertension.
The multifactorial model of primary hypertension pathogenesis developed by Irving Page in the 1940s, called Page's mosaic, covers most of the pathophysiological phenomena observed in essential hypertension.
The most important pathophysiological phenomena included in Page's mosaic form a network of interconnected “nodes”.
New discoveries both from experimental and clinical studies made in recent decades have allowed the original Page mosaic to be modified and the addition of new pathophysiological nodes.
Most of the clinical studies confirming the validity of the multifactorial pathogenesis of primary hypertension concern adults.
However, hypertension develops in childhood and is even perinatally programmed.
Therefore, the next nodes in Page’s mosaic should be age and perinatal factors.
This article presents data from pediatric clinical trials describing the most important pathophysiological processes associated with the development of essential hypertension in children and adolescents.
