Essential Manual of 24 Hour Blood Pressure Management


Book Description

It is well known that cardiovascular events occur more frequently in the morning as blood pressure (BP) levels have been shown to increase during the period from night to early morning. In recent years, clinical research using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) or home BP monitoring has clarified that morning BP and BP surge are more closely related to the cardiovascular risk than clinical BP. This practical manual from field leading expert, Dr. Kazuomi Kario, reviews recent evidence on morning and nocturnal hypertension and the IT technologies physicians can use to support patients in home monitoring BP. Guidance on management via antihypertensive drugs is also discussed and with the aim of promoting perfect 24 hour BP control.

Essential Manual of 24-Hour Blood Pressure Management


Book Description

ESSENTIAL MANUAL OF 24-HOUR BLOOD PRESSURE MANAGEMENT Hypertension is one of the greatest threats to human health. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.13 billion people worldwide have hypertension. In 2017, new guidelines for managing hypertension were published by the American Hypertension Association (AHA), guidelines which lowered the diagnosis thresholds of hypertension, and thereby increased the prevalence of hypertension. As such, hypertension is now recognized as a more serious and widespread a condition than ever before. In this new edition of the Essential Manual of 24-Hour Blood Pressure Management, the author emphasizes that lowering the blood pressure (BP) and restoring the BP profile with adequate circadian rhythm is essential for a long life without cardiovascular events. The author also introduces updated evidence for managing hypertension throughout 24-hour periods, from morning to nocturnal hypertension. The Essential Manual of 24-Hour Blood Pressure Management, Second Edition, will be an essential companion for doctors who wish to provide evidence-based medicine and be familiar with the most cutting edge technology on monitoring BP. Medical researchers and students will also value the author’s many insights, drawn from his distinguished career.




A Guide to High Blood Pressure


Book Description




Manual of Essential Hypertension


Book Description

Hypertension 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 concise guide to the definition, diagnosis and management of high blood pressure, for practising and trainee cardiologists. Beginning with an introduction to defining and measuring blood pressure, the next chapter examines clinical features and investigation, and lifestyle management. The following sections discuss different classes of antihypertensive drugs covering action mechanisms, pharmaceutical characteristics, side effects, and contraindications. A complete chapter is dedicated to newer therapies for systemic hypertension, including renal denervation therapy and baroreceptor activation therapy. The next part of the book analyses management of hypertension with a variety of comorbid conditions such as obesity, diabetes, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. The text concludes with an overview of current WHO (World Health Organisation), ESC (European Society of Cardiology), ACC (American College of Cardiology), and Indian recommendations and guidelines for the detection, evaluation and management of hypertension. This practical manual is highly illustrated with images, tables and diagrams to further assist learning.

The Handbook of Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitoring


Book Description

This book is the first comprehensive overview of the emerging field of cuffless blood pressure monitoring. Increasing clinical evidence proves that longitudinal measurements of blood pressure allow for earlier detection and better management of multiple medical conditions and for superior prediction of cardiovascular events. Unfortunately, today’s clinical and industry standards for blood pressure monitoring still require the inflation of a pneumatic cuff around a limb each time a measurement is taken. Over the last decades clinicians, scientists and device manufacturers have explored the feasibility of technologies that reduce or even completely eliminate the need of cuffs, initiating the era of cuffless blood pressure monitoring. Among the existing literature, this book is intended to be a practical guide to navigate across this emerging field. The chapters of the handbook have been elaborated by experts and key opinion leaders in the domain, and will guide the reader along the clinical, scientific, technical, and regulatory aspects of cuffless blood pressure monitoring.
