c2004. - Includes bibliographical references and index
This revised and updated 2nd Edition provides a logical, practical framework for managing
patients with hypertension. Leading experts discuss all aspects of the field -- from
pathophysiology, pharmacological treatments, and lifestyle modifications to secondary
hypertension and cardiovascular complications. The book assesses the risks of specific
pharmacological treatments, offers expert analysis of recent clinical trials, delivers
strategies for managing patients with comorbid conditions such as diabetes, renal
disease, and ischemic heart disease, and explains the role of vascular biology in
the pathogenesis of hypertension
