INTRODUCTION
This REFERENCE LIST IN CLINICAL
HYPERTENSION is produced and
published by the American Society of Hypertension, Inc. (ASH) The ASH REFERENCE
LIST is designed as (a) a comprehensive outline and updated reference
guide to the clinical hypertension literature, and (b) an outline of material
to be covered in the ASH Clinical Hypertension Review Course. The REFERENCE

the sections on Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Hypertensive Heart Disease.
Most references are from 2002-2007.
This REFERENCE LIST emphasizes (a) state-of-the-art scientific principles,
(b) the application of those principles into daily clinical practice, and (c)
evidence from randomized clinical trials that serves as the basis for current
practice recommendations.
