| Abstract
|
:
|
The revised and updated 2nd Edition provides a logical, practical framework for managing patients with hypertension. Today's leading experts discuss all aspects of the field--from pathophysiology, pharmacological treatments, and lifestyle modifications to secondary hypertension and cardiovascular complications. Assesses the risks of specific pharmacological treatments * offers expert analysis of recent clinical trials * and providesDelivers strategies for managing patients with comorbid conditions such as diabetes, renal disease, and ischemic heart disease. Explains the role of vascular biology in the pathogenesis of hypertension.
