Relativistic hydrodynamics has been applied quite successfully to describe the space-time evolution of the quark-gluon plasma formed in high-energy heavy ion collisions. In this talk, I will present some recent developments on the formulation of a causal theory of relativistic dissipative hydrodynamics from kinetic theory. In particular, I will focus on the derivation of higher-order transport coefficients and their effects on the evolution of a hot and dense medium.
