| Annotation | Heart disease and stroke are by far the most important causes of death in older adults, and hypertension is the single most important, and treatable risk factor for these conditions. This book deals with the management and evidence-based treatment of hypertension in older people in chapters on epidemiology, pathogenesis, the benefits of treatment and its side effects, and the clinical pharmacology of drugs used in treatment. Other subjects considered include blood pressure measurement and monitoring in relation to accurate diagnosis, non-drug treatment, quality of life, and health economics. |
