This text demonstrates that despite its complexity, hypertension can be accurately diagnosed and managed in clinical practice. It explains the fundamental and practical aspects of this condition, including epidemiology, risk, diagnosis, treatment, and secondary causes. Following discussion of diagnosis, the book examines pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options. Separate chapters then address areas such as emergencies, hypertension in pregnancy, hypertension in renal disease, renovascular hypertension, primary hyperaldosteronism, and pheochromocytoma.
