Reviews
From the reviews: "The book covers renovascular, endocrine, and pulmonary causes of secondary hypertension and its treatments. It is well written and easy to read with an exhaustive index. The book provides historical and contemporary information on each subject. A unique aspect of this book is the attention given to surgical therapy using excellent figures. This is an excellent book for several reasons. First, it is compact and readable, with up-to-date information from several medical specialties, obviating the need for multiple larger books to gather this information.

Synopsis
This timely book reviews the clinical scenarios that prompt a search for secondary forms of hypertension, discusses the appropriate testing for these uncommon disorders, and provides traditional and cutting edge methods of treatment of these disorders. Refractory hypertension is given special emphasis because most patients with secondary hypertension are evaluated when traditional forms of treatment fail. The editors also review traditional forms of secondary hypertension such as renovascular hypertension, ischemic renal disease and primary aldosteronism. Along with these topics they supply new and exciting information discovered in recent trials. Several chapters include sufficient detail related to all aspects of clinical features, diagnosis and treatment for both renovascular disease and primary aldosteronism. Sleep apnea is explored as part of this well-rounded review, as well as the effect of secondary hypertension in children. This book is an invaluable reference guide to all physicians treating hypertensive patients., Secondary forms of hypertension are not uncommon in clinical prac tice, but they are often overlooked or forgotten by clinicians in many fields of medicine. Dr. George Mansoor' s volume on Secondary Hyper tension is an important contribution to the field of clinical hypertension and vascular diseases, since it brings up to date the numerous diagnostic and therapeutic advances in the evaluation for secondary types of hyper tension. In the past, textbooks usually stated that an etiology could be determined in less than 5% of patients presenting with newly diagnosed hypertension. We now know this is far too low a proportion (e.g., pri mary hyperaldosteronism alone may account for hypertension in 5% of patients presenting with chronic elevations in blood pressure). Secondary Hypertension has been thoughtfully organized into chap ters evaluating screening and diagnosis, as well as medical and/or sur gical intervention of the well-known etiologies of secondary hypertension in adults and children. Additional coverage is given to such exogenous or lesser appreciated causes of secondary hypertension as obstructive sleep apnea and drugs. These sections make this book novel because in the past little attention has been paid to the effects of noncar diac drugs that interfere with antihypertensive therapy or to exogenous substances that might induce refractory hypertension., This indispensable guide critically evaluates for hypertension specialists both established and new techniques for diagnosing and treating secondary hypertension in adults and children. Drawing on a variety of medical disciplines-including nephrology, endocrinology, internal medicine, and pediatrics-its world-renowned authors review the critical scenarios that should prompt a search for secondary forms of hypertension, and detail appropriate testing for these uncommon disorders. Additional coverage is given to exogenous or such less-appreciated causes of secondary hypertension as obstructive sleep apnea, primary aldosteronism, renovascular hypertension, and the effects of noncardiac drugs., Secondary forms of hypertension are not uncommon in clinical prac- tice, but they are often overlooked or forgotten by clinicians in many fields of medicine.
