You can easily dip in and out. * Terry McCormack, General Practitioner, and Honorary Reader at Hull York Medical School, British Journal of Cardiology, 23 (15), 2016 * This book serves as a good refresher for why we make the decisions we make. It also works as a refresher of the evidence supporting current guidelines and standards of care. * Merrill H. Stewart, BA, MD (Ochsner Clinic Foundation); Doodys Notes * Characterized by a concise but comprehensive presentation of the significance and risks of arterial hypertension...this pocket edition is a new reminder that arterial hypertension is a chronic and often asymptomatic disease and that reducing cardiovascular risk is of primary importance in its treatment. * Assist.
