Case 12010a 75yearold Man With Hypertension Hyperglycemia And Edema

Hypertension and diabetes

Pulmonary hypertension is frequently misdiagnosed and has often progressed to a late stage by the time it is accurately diagnosed. It has therefore long been considered untreatable and incurable with an overall very poor survival rate.

Portal hypertension is a clinical syndrome defined by a portal venous pressure gradient, exceeding 5 mm Hg. In this book the causes of its development and complications are described. Authors have presented personal experiences on conducting patients with various displays of portal hypertension.

Organized in a reader-friendly format, this reference collects a vast amount of information on the underlying mechanisms of hypertension and applies them to day-to-day clinical practices – focusing on recent developments in patient management, as well as the molecular, biological, physiological, pathophysiological, and pharmacological facets of hypertension. The guide presents evidence-based information and offers practical approaches to the treatment of the disease. It provides key points and summaries at the beginning of each chapter, illustrations, algorithms, tables, and charts that clarify and highlight critical data, and management and treatment options for general and special populations.
