The sixth edition of the Atlas of Hypertension builds on the tremendous success of earlier editions, but significant revision has been done since the last edition-a third of the chapters are new, and more than half of the chapters are written by new authors. Expanded topics include home blood pressure; secondary hypertension; information on newer agents such as nebivolol, aliskiren, and new vasopeptidase inhibitors; the possible role and pharmacology of renin inhibition; and American and European guidelines for antihypertensive treatment and their influence on physician practice. The striking, four-color format combined with the breadth of information it contains make this  Atlas an invaluable resource for physicians, cardiologists, and all professionals involved in the study and treatment of hypertension.

From the reviews of the sixth edition:

"This is an update of an atlas that explores hypertension from pathogenesis to clinical management. Topics are presented in organized, easy-to-follow algorithms and tables, disease pathology is illustrated by excellent diagrams and figures, and chapters include up-to-date literature reviews. ? It is intended for anyone involved in management of patients with hypertension, and will be a valuable resource for students, nurses, physicians in training, and clinicians in practice. It would appeal to ? anyone seeking a contemporary discussion of hypertension management." (Omar Shams, Doody's Review Service, November, 2010)
