Indeed, epidemiological trials have shown that the  cardiovascular risk in elderly hypertensives is significantly higher  than in normotensive subjects of comparable age. However, many  characteristics of hypertension in the elderly, such as the  haemodynamic pattern, do differ greatly from those of younger  hypertensives and therefore the results obtained in younger patients  cannot be extrapolated to older hypertensives. \u003cbr\u003e  In this book, experts on hypertension have examined different aspects  of hypertension in the elderly: from the changes in the cardiovascular  system associated with ageing, to the role of ambulatory blood  pressure measurement in the diagnosis of hypertension and the results  of the recent clinical trials into the efficacy and tolerability of  antihypertensive drugs. \u003cbr\u003e  This book covers all the clinical aspects of hypertension in the  elderly in such a way that it will become a valuable tool for medical  students, general practitioners and specialists in hypertension alike.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048144082\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-1820-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 150\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398564016268,"sku":"9789048144082","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048144082.jpg?v=1755437538","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789048144082","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
