Description
· Growing popularity of resistant hypertension because of its prevalence,
risk and cost to Health Care System
· New therapeutic options of great current (and presumably future) popularity
and use
· A topic never addressed systematically in all its aspects?
A growing number of people suffer from so-called resistant hypertension, that
is to say, high blood pressure that does not respond to treatment. This disorder
is of great current interest and importance for public health, being a common
clinical problem faced by both primary care clinicians and specialists. Furthermore,
as older age and obesity are among the strongest risk factors for uncontrolled
hypertension, the incidence of resistant hypertension will likely increase as
the population becomes more elderly and heavier. While the prognosis of resistant
hypertension is unknown, cardiovascular risk is undoubtedly increased since
patients often have a history of long-standing, severe hypertension complicated
by multiple other cardiovascular risk factors. This volume, compiled by a panel
of world-renowned experts, offers a comprehensive exploration of resistant hypertension,
covering epidemiology, complex diagnostic aspects, and the therapeutic options
currently available, with due attention to overall treatment strategies. New
therapeutic agents and procedures, such as renal denervation and baroreceptor
stimulation, are also described. In addition, the book addresses the economic
aspects of resistant hypertension and the role of the different professional
figures, from GPs to hypertension specialists, in dealing with it.
