More DescriptionThis timely book reviews the clinical scenarios that prompt a search for secondary forms of hypertension, discusses the appropriate testing for these uncommon disorders, and provides traditional and cutting edge methods of treatment of these disorders. Refractory hypertension is given special emphasis because most patients with secondary hypertension are evaluated when traditional forms of treatment fail. The editors also review traditional forms of secondary hypertension such as renovascular hypertension, ischemic renal disease and primary aldosteronism. Along with these topics they supply new and exciting information discovered in recent trials. Several chapters include sufficient detail related to all aspects of clinical features, diagnosis and treatment for both renovascular disease and primary aldosteronism. Sleep apnea is explored as part of this well-rounded review, as well as the effect of secondary hypertension in children. This book is an invaluable reference guide to all physicians treating hypertensive patients.
