The only popular self-help book on blood pressure in Spanish

The most accessible self-help book on blood pressure in Spanish offers the newest information available on medication, diet, and exercise and what people must understand about the importance of blood pressure. This edition presents new information about hypertension and the new standards established for measurement. It continues to offer the clear and jargon-free explanation of the role blood pressure plays as a primary indicator of overall health. High blood pressure remains a major concern among Hispanic populations because of the incidence of high blood pressure. There has never been a greater need for understanding and early treatment.

Rave Reviews

"As many physicians know all too well, just telling patients what they should do for their health is unlikely to be effective. And that is why we welcome approaches of the type offered by this book. Rather than simply informing people of their risks, and of the measures they should take, The Blood Pressure Book leads its readers into action. It enables them to develop their own custom-made blood pressure control program, step-by-step." —John W. Farquhar, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine
