Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

This manual is designed to contain all the information needed by the clinician who has to manage hypertensive patients. The ubiquity of the condition and its importance as a determinant of health and life expectancy, inevitably mean that most doctors will find themselves frequently in that situation. They will encounter a formidable literature: hypertension is one of the best characterized of medical conditions from epidemiology to physiology and management. Further, it is now known that treatment has a major impact on outlook for the hypertensive patient.

The Textbook of Hypertension, published in 1994 and written by over 180 international authorities, presented an up-to-date, comprehensive review of the modern science of hypertension. Manual of Hypertension is a digest of that work, presenting information which will both inform and educate the clinician on the nature of hypertension, its consequences and management.
