Description
Through interesting case presentations, this volume in the Pearls Series seeks to enlighten the reader in the management of patients
with hypertension. Areas covered include management of essential hypertension, secondary hypertension, patients with multiple risk factors,
and complicated management issues. A brief clinical vignette is provided for each case, along with physical findings and lab data, and
the reader is encouraged to formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan. The next page reveals the diagnosis, discusses the disorder and
the management of the specific patient, and concludes with 3-4 clinical pearls distilled from the case.
Audience
Clinicians managing patients with hypertension including Primary Care Physicians, Nephrologists, Cardiologists, Endocrinologists, Nurse
Practitioners, Pharmacists, Physicians in training, Medical Students
