Book Synopsis

Hypertension**xA0;is another name for high blood pressure. It can lead to severe complications and increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and death. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels. This book is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and management of high blood pressure. Divided into three sections, the text begins with an overview of the condition, current guidelines on its management, potential organ damage, and nonpharmacological treatments. The next section covers the management of hypertension with associated disorders such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, kidney disease, and more. A complete chapter is dedicated to 'white coat' hypertension. The final section discusses management approaches when initial treatment fails, and hypertensive emergencies. Each chapter is presented as a case scenario, describing prevention, diagnosis, previous control attempts, challenges, and treatments, both pharmalogical and nonpharmalogical. This second edition has been fully revised and updated to provide clinicians and trainees with the latest advances and knowledge in the field. A number of new topics have also been included. Authored by experts from the University of South Carolina, the text is further enhanced by clinical images, figures and tables. The previous edition (9789386261489) published in 2019.
