Hypertension: not solely a blood pressure problem.
Patients with hypertension are more likely than those with normal blood pressure to have vascular disease, target-organ disease, and concomitant disorders, such as dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, obesity, arthritis, and renal and liver function problems. The authors describe how to correctly diagnose hypertension, identify associated problems, and arrive at the best therapeutic approach for the individual patient.
