Hypertension: A Clinician´s Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment

This book was written for the busy clinician. It was designed to serve as a quick and up-to-date reference for physicians who evaluate and treat pa­tients with essential and secondary hypertension. In fact, new information is included up until the very week the book goes to press. The new manu­script was initially developed by one of the authors (BIS) to answer ques­tions po sed by clinicians at various symposia and lectures. With the aid of the coauthor, it subsequently grew into a book designed to meet the needs of clinicians who do not have time to look up specific clinical questions re­lated to hypertension in encyclopedic textbooks.
