This timely volume addresses the intimate pathophysiologic
relationship between hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
Hypertension is one of the most important global public health
challenges, and its relationship to stroke and other catastrophic
cerebrovascular diseases is an area of growing understanding. In
this outstanding book, the editors and authors clearly and
concisely synthesize our developing knowledge and place
epidemiologic and physiologic information into a practical clinical
context. Comprehensive chapters present the evidence supporting
strategies for stroke prevention and care, including blood pressure
lowering therapies, anti-coagulation, and management of other
cerebrovascular risk factors. In addition to prescriptive measures
for first stroke prevention, the book illuminates current regimens
for care immediately after acute stroke and for the prevention of
recurrent stroke. A unique section is dedicated to the exploration
of the interaction between elevated blood pressure and brain
function and cognition. The concluding chapter provides a resource
towards optimizing the organization of stroke care. Hypertension
and Stroke is of great utility for specialists in neurology and
cardiovascular medicine and a valuable practical resource for all
physicians caring for older adults and hypertensive patients.
