Full Description
The sixth edition of the Atlas of Hypertension builds on the tremendous success of earlier editions, but significant revision has been done since the last edition—a third of the chapters are new, and more than half of the chapters are written by new authors. Expanded topics include home blood pressure; secondary hypertension; information on newer agents such as nebivolol, aliskiren, and new vasopeptidase inhibitors; the possible role and pharmacology of renin inhibition; and American and European guidelines for antihypertensive treatment and their influence on physician practice. The striking, four-color format combined with the breadth of information it contains make this Atlas an invaluable resource for physicians, cardiologists, and all professionals involved in the study and treatment of hypertension.
