Management of Essential Hypertension: The New Low-Dose Era [antikvár]

ACKNOWLEDGMENTSFirst, I must thank the thirteen bright young medical students without whose enthusiasm and assistance this book would not have been possible. Certainly, part of my motivation came from the immense satisfaction that comes from many academicians, physicians and lay people who told me they benefited from the first edition; the elderly gentleman who read my book in the New York Public Library Consumers' Section and phoned me to ask for a recommendation for a blood pressure doctor in his city; the two women professors from Warsaw, Poland, who turned around at a Paris International Hypertension Meeting and asked me to autograph their copies; the physician in Brussels who told me his medical student son and his friends use my text; and the 56,000 physicians who got my first edition.I am most grateful for the advice given me by the three very knowledgeable experts in this field, who generously critiqued several chapters of this book: Dr. Ed Freis, Dr. Ray Gifford and Dr. Bob Temple.I am particularly grateful to my publisher, Steve Korn, and his efficient staff for their most competent assistance throughout these many months.I wish to acknowledge the many physicians and scientists who supplied me with books and publications, new materials and information about various drugs:Rudi Hoffman, Dick Davies, McFate Smith, Leigh Thompson, Ezra Lamdin, John Fischetti, Bob Spangenberg, George Maha, John Irvin, Geraldine Mantell, Wolf Michaelis, Norman Lavy, Howard Miller, John Muldane, Sveto Vanov, Bob Fiorentini, Colin Taylor, Mike Vinocur, Barry Rofman, Mirza Beg, Martin Kaplan, Joan Leader, Steve Hulley, David Poorvin, Elmer Funk, Leonard Gonasun, Renee Isen, Stanley Fishman, Juan Guerrero, Nadim Kassem, Wilham Cady, Jeffrey Friedman, Bob Coniff, Bob Kee-nan, Michael Fernandes, Keith Rottenberg, Paul Hornyak, Ted
