Fast Facts: Hypertension
by Graham A MacGregor, Norman K Kaplan
Description
Hypertension is a highly treatable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, yet it remains underdiagnosed, undertreated and, in many cases, poorly controlled. Sometimes dubbed 'the silent killer', hypertension rarely produces symptoms until it manifests as a heart attack or stroke. Early identification of the condition by routine blood pressure measurement and appropriate ongoing management are therefore vital.
In this updated fourth edition of Fast Facts: Hypertension, two authors of international renown provide a practical evidence-based approach to the diagnosis and management of the condition.
Table of contents:
- The dangers of raised blood pressure
- Causes
- Investigation
- When to treat
- How to treat
- Special patient groups
- Uncontrolled hypertension
