| Abstract
|
:
|
Kevin T. Larkin examines more than a half-century of empirical evidence obtained to test the common assumption that stress is associated with the onset and maintenance of essential hypertension (high blood pressure). The book discusses the effectiveness of strategies developed to manage stress and lower blood pressure.
