First edition Highly Commended in the Primary Healthcare category, BMA Medical Book Competition, 2003
This new revised and updated edition provides practical, up-to-date summaries on how to manage clinical hypertension in everyday practice. In addition to providing an overview of its epidemiology and pathophysiology, the book also contains focused reviews on various therapies and how to lower blood pressure through lifestyle changes. Specialist patient groups and hypertension during pregnancy are also discussed.
Clinical hypertension, commonly known as 'high blood pressure', is a highly prevalent condition and is a major risk factor in cardiovascular disease. Hypertension has few symptoms and many patients will be unaware that they have the condition until complications occur. These complications include cerebrovascular disease, heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, renal failure and retinopathy - target organ damage. The benefit of treating systemic hypertension is now well established and it is now no longer a question of 'do we treat?" but 'who and how should we treat?'
Clinical Hypertension in Practice will be of great value to general practitioners, hospital doctors and nurses working in cardiology, obstetrics and general practice, as well as to undergraduate and postgraduate students of medicine and pharmacy.
