Review:
JNC VII
Whether a clinician or just someone who wants to learn more about the latest treatments for high blood pressure, if you buy a book about hypertension, make sure it incorporates that latest guidelines -- JNC VII (2003). Diagnosis and treatment guidelines changed substantially. For more information, see:

Review:
A great book to get things clear
This is a great book because it sets thing clear for the student, the researcher, and the doctor. Although nowadays it is hard to be up-to-date without a journal on the specific subject we are interested in, this book does the best to explain the basics of hypertension and the ultimate advances that have been made on the subject, at least by the year it was published. It's easy to understand and it's very well structured so as to find the theme we are looking for as fast as possible.
