Description
Hypertensive disorders remain one the major causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and death. It is also a leading cause of preterm birth
now known to be a risk factor in remote cardiovascular disease. Despite this the hypertensive disorders remain marginally studied and
management is often controversial.
Chesley’s Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy, remains one of the beacons to guide
this field, recognized for its uniqueness and utility. The Third Edition continues this tradition, focusing on prediction, prevention,
and management for clinicians, and is an essential reference text for clinical and basic investigators alike. Differing from other texts
devoted to preeclampsia, it covers the whole gamut of high blood pressure, and not just preeclampsia.
Audience:
Obstetricians, especially those who care for high risk pregnancies; internists, primarily nephrologists, cardiologists, and any consultants
who focus on either hypertensive disorders, or obstetric medicine
