Description
Assessment, Pharmacological and Non-Pharmacological Management of Hypertension: A Nursing and Allied Health Science Collaborative Approach responds to this need by presenting hypertension management as a shared responsibility among nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, nutrition professionals, pharmacists, and other allied health practitioners working collaboratively with physicians. The text emphasizes that optimal blood pressure control extends beyond medication to include integrated, evidence-based strategies addressing physiology, behavior, environment, and patient engagement.
The book begins with foundational chapters on cardiovascular anatomy and physiology, hypertension pathophysiology, and the emerging role of inflammation in cardiovascular disease. It then examines non-pharmacological management across disciplines, using a consistent framework that supports interprofessional learning and team-based practice. The final section addresses pharmacological management, reviewing current guidelines and antihypertensive drug classes with attention to mechanisms, safety, and clinical application. Designed for students, educators, clinicians, and interdisciplinary healthcare teams, this textbook equips readers with the knowledge and collaborative perspective needed to improve hypertension outcomes and advance cardiovascular health equity.
