Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Focusing on the diagnosis and management of hypertension or high blood pressure, a common condition which affects a third of the UK population yet remains poorly understood and managed, this comprehensive handbook provides sufficient detail to be valuable to specialists in the area while remaining accessible to the generalist.
MoreLong description:
The investigation and treatment of hypertension, a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease throughout the world, remains a challenge, even in developed countries. Although antihypertensives have been available for 50 years, the rational and effective use of the myriad of existing drugs remains a concern, as does the desire to identify patients with secondary hypertension from the mass of individuals with primary or essential hypertension.
The aim of this handbook is to provide state-of-the-art information concerning the pathophysiology, diagnosis, investigation and management of hypertension in the 21st century. The book covers the underlying physiological, genetic and environmental components which may contribute towards its pathogenesis as well as the currently available therapies and clinical trials in hypertension. The chapters are clearly laid-out and written for the non-expert but contain sufficient detail to serve as a
useful reference for the experienced physician. The book is completely up-to-date and evidence-based, while the authors are recognized experts in hypertension based at one of Europe's leading hypertension centres.
...an excellent balance of pathophysiologic underpinning and a practical, algorithmic approach to diagnosis, prognosis and treatment...numerous illustrations, flow-diagrams and bullet summaries integrate information in a useful manner... The end product is a well organized handbook that will have a wide readership and satisfy both primary care physicians and specialists with a keen interest in the field of hypertension.
