DESCRIPTION:
Here is today""s most in-depth single source on vascular diseases. It integrates the very latest understanding of vascular biology with detailed, state-of-the-art reviews of pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management.
The comprehensive and clinically oriented coverage equips you to effectively evaluate patients with a broad range of vascular diseases, and to implement the most appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic strategies available today.
New to This Edition:
- Get up-to-date information on new combination drug therapies and management of chronic complications of hypertension.
- Learn the best methods for aggressive patient management and disease prevention to ensure minimal risk of further cardiovascular problems.
- Stay current with ACC/AHA and ECC guidelines and the best ways to implement them in clinical practice.
- Enhance your visual perspective with an all-new, full-color design throughout.
- Utilize behavior management as an integral part of treatment for your hypertensive and pre-hypertensive patients.
- Effectively manage special populations with chronic hypertensive disease, as well as hypertension and concomitant disease.
