Secondary Hypertension: Clinical Presentation, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Twenty-six international specialists present the most current knowledge on the essential clinical, diagnostic, and treatment aspects of secondary hypertension. The text treats in detail the forms likely to be considered in persons with suggestive clinical features or resistant hypertension. Each chapter gives a concise approach to its topic and therefore can be read on its own by those seeking an up-to-date, scientifically accurate review of a particular area. Following two chapters discussing refractory hypertension and the exogenous causes of hypertension, 15 contributions are organized into sections on renal disease, the adrenal cortex, the adrenal medulla, pediatric issues, and sleep apnea.
