DESCRIPTION:
Other hypertension phenotypes, however, are not widely recognized, being reported only in special reviews; examples include hypertension associated with renal calculus disease and other rarer causes such as Turner syndrome, herbal and medicinal compounds, and pharmacologic agents. This book aims to present a comprehensive classification of hypertensive phenotypes based on underlying target organ involvement. Particular emphasis is placed on review and assessment of clinical presentation, pathophysiologic mechanisms, and possible specific therapeutic options for each hypertension phenotype. A detailed account of the various causes of monogenic hypertension is also included. Several of these phenotypes are well known and well described in the literature, such as prehypertension, white coat and masked hypertension, isolated systolic hypertension, renovascular hypertension, endocrine hypertension, pediatric hypertension, and gestational hypertension. Finally, a section is devoted to general aspects of hypertension, including the significance of blood pressure indices, the natural course of untreated and treated hypertension, hypertension mechanisms, genetics, and guidelines for blood pressure control.
His expertise includes ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, neural control of circulation, large artery mechanics, and clinical trials.. He has already published several books with Springer: Cardiorenal Syndrome (2010), Special Issues in Hypertension (2012), Arterial Disorders (2015), all of these co-edited with Prof. Giuseppe Mancia.Giuseppe Mancia is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Milano-Bicocca and served as Professor of Medicine and
