SAMPLE
註釋
Here's an essential reference for anyone needing an
advanced understanding
of the
nature
and
treatment of hypertension
. Dr. Laragh, a pioneering clinician and scientist, demonstrates the central role of an overactive renin system for causing most hypertension. In his new book, Dr. Laragh discusses his research and its relevance to caring for everything from
asymptomatic patients
to
hypertensive emergencies
. And, he provides visit-by-visit details of his
new pathophysiologically
and
biochemically guided treatment
. The result of his work is a specific approach that makes it possible to more effectively prevent, arrest, and treat hypertension and its consequences-including congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, kidney failure and stroke.
Defined three anti-renin R drug classes:
beta blockers
intravenous converting enzyme inhibitors
and angiotensin
receptor blockers
, and showed the direct correlations between the depressor effectiveness of each of these drugs and the height of baseline rennin levels of each patient.
Originated the strategy of
using plasma renin testing
to determine whether the sodium volume V mediates a patient's hypertension or the rennin vasoconstriction R factor in order to
prescribe the appropriate V or R drug treatment
.
