"I read with interest the textbook Endocrine Hypertension edited by J. "M. Pappachan and C. J. Fernandez. The preparation of this book involves the participation of many leading scientists and clinicians that dedicated their studies to understanding the genetics and pathophysiology of the different hormonal systems involved in the regulation of blood pressure and the identification of the best clinical approaches for the management of the endocrine forms of hypertension.

The present textbook should be therefore, of special interest not only for endocrinologists but for all categories of clinicians that are involved in the management of patients with hypertension, including general practitioners, internists, cardiologists, nephrologists and paediatricians.

I predict that this book will be read with interest by many colleagues and should be used to support the specific learning of medical students and fellows." --Paolo Mulatero

"This comprehensive textbook on endocrine hypertension is a delight to read. The chapters are laid out very well with each topic covering the basic physiology and pathophysiology of endocrine hypertension. The flow charts, colourful graphical abstracts and tables make the reading and understanding of the complex clinical scenarios much easier. I am impressed with several of the authors who are internationally acclaimed and pioneers in the field whose contributions no doubt add tremendous value to the book.

I no doubt feel this is a very useful textbook for any practicing consultant or trainee dealing with hypertension in general medicine and endocrinology." --Ganesan Arunagirinathan

"Professor Joseph M Pappachan and Dr. Cornelius James Fernandez have put together an excellent textbook on Endocrine hypertension from basic science to clinical practice. The field of hypertension has been rapidly evolving, and more than a quarter of hypertension is due to endocrine aetiology. Hence this book has come at the correct time and provides an in-depth understanding of the various aetiologies of endocrine hypertension. Each chapter starts with a graphical abstract summarising the content in a useful pictorial form. The pathophysiology section in the chapters is explained in an easy-to-understand format and yet addresses the complexity of the process involved in causing high blood pressure in various endocrine disorders. There are dedicated chapters explaining the concept of hypertension management due to pheochromocytoma, paragangliomas, Cushing syndrome, hyperaldosteronism, thyrotoxicosis, and growth hormone excess. The authors have handled the complicated topic of monogenic hypertension and endocrine hypertension in children in a much more practical way for understanding and implementation in day-to-day practice. Hence this is a holistic textbook that deals with the endocrine cause of hypertension from the womb to the tomb. I congratulate the editors for this excellent text and wish them good luck for future editions. This is a must-buy book for both the generalist and specialist for their daily practice and for the trainees in the area of general medicine, endocrinology, cardiology, renal medicine and general practice. 5.0 out of 5 stars - Must have this textbook !" --Dr. Sadiq Mohammed Jeeyavudeen MD, MRCP, Consultant Endocrinologist, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, University Hospitals of Edinburgh, UK "The chapters are well organised with beautiful figures, tables and graphical abstracts that makes it easily readable and quite user-friendly." --Shehla Shaikh and Sanjay Kalra, BMH Medical Journal.
