Samuel J. Mann, MD is a nationally known Hypertension Specialist, Professor of Clinical Medicine at NewYork Presbyterian Hospital - Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York, N.Y, where he combines clinical practice and research. His papers have been published in leading hypertension, medicine and psychology journals. He is author of 2 books on hypertension:Hypertension and You: Old Drugs, New Drugs and the Right Drugs for Your High Blood Pressure (Rowman & Littlefield, 2012), focuses on the drug treatment of hypertension, with the message that we have many effective drugs but they are not being prescribed as well as they could be, with the very common consequences of uncontrolled hypertension and avoidable side effects. The reader-friendly book explains what is wrong with how the drugs are prescribed, and how to get it right. It is must reading for anyone taking medication for hypertension. Healing Hypertension: A Revolutionary New Approach (Wiley, 1999), focuses on the mind/body connection in hypertension. Explaining why the usual suspects, stress, anger and anxiety, are not a cause of hypertension, it presents a very different understanding that is much more relevant to the management of hypertension.
