The prevalence of hypertension is almost three times as high as
that of diabetes mellitus type 2, with both conditions being major
risk factors for stroke, ischemic heart disease, cardiac
arrhythmias, and heart failure. The exact prevalence of
hypertension related to hormonal derangements (endocrine
hypertension) is not known but estimated to affect less than 15% of
hypertensive patients. Recent scientific discoveries have increased
the understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of
hypertension. In Endocrine Hypertension, a renowned panel of
experts provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of this
disorder, discussing when to assign an endocrine cause in one of
many conditions that may present with hypertension. The first part
of Endocrine Hypertension is dedicated to adrenal causes. The
second part of the volume concerns potential nonadrenal causes of
hypertension, such as growth hormone excess or deficiency, primary
hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, testosterone deficiency,
insulin resistance, obesity-associated hypertension, and the role
of central mineralocorticoid receptors and cardiovascular disease.
An important contribution to the literature, Endocrine Hypertension
is an indispensable reference not only for endocrinologists,
diabetologists, and adrenal investigators, but also for
translational scientists and clinicians from cardiology, internal
medicine, pediatrics, family medicine, geriatrics, urology, and
reproductive medicine / gynecology.
