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.
