Summary:

Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are inextricably linked. The emergence of long-overdue clinical trial data has emphasized the importance of hypertension in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications and as such has given the subject the spotlight it deserves. Hypertension in Diabetes brings together some of the world's leading experts to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of key areas related to the epidemiology, pathogenesis and consequences of hypertension in people with diabetes. In addition to describing the regulation of blood pressure and its specific effects on target organ systems such as the heart, the kidneys and the retina, Hypertension in Diabetes discusses the impact of blood pressure treatment and reviews the controversies about guidelines and treatment recommendations. Hypertension in Diabetes provides a firm foundation for scientists and clinicians wishing to gain a comprehensive insight into clinical aspects of hypertension in people with diabetes. It also gives a comprehensive review of this field for specialist clinicians in hypertension, cardiovascular medicine or diabetology. In so doing, it will stimulate further interest, research and clinical intervention in this enormously important aspect of the care of people with diabetes.
