The previous Ninth Edition of this best-selling clinical textbook by a world-renowned authority on hypertension was listed as the #1 reference book by the American Society of Hypertension in 2006, and was translated into eight languages. In this Tenth Edition, Kaplan and Victor integrate the latest basic science findings and clinical trial data and present up-to-date, practical, evidence-based recommendations for treatment and prevention of all forms of hypertension. Abundant algorithms and flow charts are included to aid clinicians in decision-making.

Every page of the Tenth Edition has been thoroughly revised by the authors to cover new developments in the pathogenesis of hypertension; discussions on the significance of nighttime blood pressure; new information on the relationship of sleep apnea to blood pressure; updates on diagnosing primary aldosteronism; detailed information on the latest antihypertensive drugs, including combination drugs; and a chapter on hypertension in children and adolescents.
