title: Hypertension--an overview.
abstract: The contributions in this symposium address the causes of both essential and secondary hypertension, optimal diagnostic techniques, treatment regimens, and long-term management of the hypertensive patient through a continued-care program. The intended emphasis is on issues that will have practical use in patient assessment and evaluation of therapeutic options. In particular, our goal was to provide current information that could enhance the care of the hypertensive patient.
