Blood pressure measurements determine several stages such as normal blood pressure, elevated blood pressure, stage 1 hypertension, stage 2 hypertension, and hypertensive crisis. It can be treated through diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers and calcium channel blockers.

This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects related to the analysis and management of hypertension. It aims to present researches that have transformed this discipline and aided its advancement. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
