Clinician’s Manual: Treatment of Hypertension


Book Description

A clinical manual on hypertension for primary care physicians. Serves as an up-to-date reference on hypertension for use in clinical practice. Includes dozens of clear and informative tables and figures to maximize comprehension. Addresses the most recent and crucial developments in a very common chronic condition. Gives a comprehensive review of currently available medications and combination therapy. Approximately one billion people worldwide are affected by hypertension. About 24% of the adult population in the US are hypertensive, and the number is expected to increase with the rising rates of obesity and diabetes. As hypertension affects so many and spans across varying ages, genders, ethnicities, and socioeconomic classes, all clinicians are likely to encounter patients with hypertension on regular basis. Hypertension is one of the major causes of cardiovascular diseases, and timely diagnosis and treatment are essential. The manual will give the reader a thorough overview of antihypertensive lifestyle modifications, first-line therapy, combination therapies, comorbid conditions, therapeutic challenges, and the latest trends in antihypertensive therapy. Pharmaceutical companies can use this clinician’s manual as an excellent educational giveaway, as the booklet includes the latest clinical research results and treatment options for hypertension.

Manual of 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. The new edition of this manual provides cardiologists with the latest advances in the diagnosis and management of hypertension. Divided into 14 sections, the book begins with an overview of the history and epidemiology of the condition, risk factors, pathophysiological aspects, and molecular basis. The next chapters discuss the accuracy of blood pressure measurements, target organ damage, and secondary hypertension. The book concludes with chapters on therapeutic aspects, genetics, and the latest treatment guidelines and meta-analysis. The second edition has been fully revised and includes new topics in line with recent advances in the field. Clinical images and figures further enhance the comprehensive text. Key points Comprehensive guide to diagnosis and management of hypertension Fully revised, second edition featuring new topics in line with recent advances and guidelines Highly illustrated with clinical images and figures Previous edition (9789352500307) published in 2016

Early detection combined with effective treatment is imperative to reduce the risk of patients developing premature cardiovascular disease and accelerated atherosclerosis. A clear, concise resource, Hypertension: A Clinical Guide




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.
