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."
