Conquering Hypertension: An Illustrated Guide to Understanding Treatment and Control of High Blood Pressure (Empowering Press)

High blood pressure "hypertension" treatment is a miracle of modern medical therapeutics. Although hypertension afflicts more than 1 of every 10 adults, the complications of this disorder are completely preventable. Sadly, though, some people with high blood pressure don't know it. Others who think they may have it do not. Many who have it are not successful in controlling it because the optimal treatment has not been prescribed or they do not follow the treatment. And some people experience needless adverse effect from therapy. This book answers key questions about the nature & management of high blood pressure & how those who have the condition can benefit most from treatment without suffering undue adverse effects. The editors of the book are both past-presidents of the Canadian Hypertension Society & professors of medicine, with extensive research & clinical experience in hypertension. They are joined by the best hypertension experts, representing the disciplines of internal medicine, family medicine, nursing, nutrition, pharmacology, physiology, psychology, & epidemiology.
