KAPLAN'S Clinical Hypertension
Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description
A comprehensive medical textbook authored by Norman M. Kaplan and Ronald G. Victor. The material focuses on the epidemiology, diagnosis, and physiological complexities of high blood pressure, emphasizing its role as a leading global risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It explores various diagnostic classifications, such as prehypertension and isolated systolic hypertension, while highlighting the limitations of traditional office-based measurements due to natural blood pressure variability. The authors specifically address the "white-coat effect" and "masked hypertension," arguing for the superior accuracy of ambulatory and home monitoring in clinical practice. Furthermore, the text reviews the prognostic significance of nocturnal dipping patterns and the morning surge in relation to patient mortality and morbidity. Ultimately, the source serves as an evidence-based guide for clinicians to better evaluate and manage the evolving challenges of hypertension in diverse populations.
