This volume reviews comprehensively the present understanding of the clinical pharmacology and therapeutics of currently available antihypertensive agents. As fewer new molecules are entering development it becomes increasingly important to utilise existing drugs in a way that exploits their full potential through a greater understanding of their molecular biology and pharmacogenomics. Volume in Handbook of Hypertension series. International range of expert contributors. Systematically reviews the clinical pharmacology of all the antihypertensive agents. Also covers treatment of hypertension in special patient goups. Includes covearge of latest clinical trials and prospects for the future.

Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics Lecture Notes provides a clear and accessible overview of all the key prescribing topics needed for medical finals and beyond. Detailed coverage and discussion of pharmacology in a clinical context, combined with an easy-to-understand, readable style, helps improve and test understanding of pharmacological principles and reasoning on rotation and into the foundation years. Key features for this edition include: • Clinical scenarios to root each chapter firmly in a real-life setting • Prescribing points flagging up important issues of clinical relevance • Expanded sections on drugs you may need in a hurry, prescribing and its pitfalls, and paediatric prescribing • A self-assessment section to test your knowledge and help prepare for examinations Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics Lecture Notes is an ideal resource for all medical students, junior doctors, and other prescribers, whether learning how pharmacological principles relate to clinical situations, brushing up on the basics while on rotation, or looking for a comprehensive overview of prescribing and therapeutics.

Dr. Maronde has performed a major service in bringing together a superb array of scholars and clinicians to discuss not only the basic principles in therapeutics and clinical pharmacology but also the application of those principles to a wide range of clinical problems. Inclusion of chapters on adverse drug reactions, drug overdose, nonmedical prescription drug use, physician prescribing patterns, and the pharmaceutical industry makes this a particularly valuable book for clinicians. It is increasingly important that clinicians be well grounded in the principles of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics because more and more of our patients are aging and cannot be treated as young or middle-aged adults. Elderly patients are liable to either drug overdose or underdose if traditional dosage formulas are followed because of changes in drug metabolism, drug distribution within the body, drug excretion, or changes in receptor site sensitivity. Because the elderly often present with mUltiple chronic diseases and require a variety of medications, they are more prone to medication errors, drug-drug interactions, and adverse drug reactions. The inclusion of three excellent chapters relating to drug-drug interactions, adverse drug reactions, and drug overdose is most welcome and is a valuable addition to this outstanding text on therapeutics and clinical pharmacology. Adverse drug reactions present a potentially serious problem for any patient for whom drugs are prescribed and particularly for those who must take multiple prescriptions.

The previous volume on Antihypertensive Agents in the Handbook of Experi mental Pharmacology, published in 1977, was edited by the late Franz Gross from the Department of Pharmacology in Heidelberg, who was one of the grand old men in hypertension research. Now, more than 10 years later, it is necessary to update this volume. From the early days of antihypertensive drug treatment, starting about 30 years ago with drugs such as reserpine and guanethidine, the pharmacology of cardiovas" cular therapy has evolved into a highly sophisticated and effective therapeutic regimen. The major breakthroughs in the 1960s were the introduction of diuretics and beta-blockers. Then, in the 1980s, came the calcium antagonists and con verting enzyme inhibitors. It can be anticipated that the next decade will see a further expansion and sophistication of blood pressure lowering drugs. This book provides a state-of-the-art discussion of chemical, experimental, and clinical pharmacological data as well as of practical experience with drugs which are presently being used or which are going to be introduced on the market in the near future. The purpose of this volume is to provide a complete discussion of antihypertensive agents. Each major class of antihypertensive drugs is treated exhaustively in a separate chapter, fully referenced with chemical formulae, and richly illustrated with figures and tables. International authorities were asked to contribute in their respective fields of expertise.
