Hypertension and Hypotensive Syndromes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Hypotensive Syndromes in Geriatric Patients

Abstract

In this chapter discussion about the hypotensive syndromes associated with hypertension is done. An outline about the pathophysiology of these two conditions and the management of these conditions are seen. Management of hypotension syndromes in hypertensive subjects are quite challenging.
