Adolescents can develop cardiomyopathy, which can results from hypertension. There are several types of cardiomyopathy: where the heart can thin, it can become thick, or it can become rigid. All impair the function of the heart and are usually fatal in their late teens/early 20's. Im sure that you've heard of the high school students that have died while playing sports---this is what they die from. So yes, adolescents can develop heart disease, but an EKG can help diagnose and begin the treatment process of such a thing
