Originally published in 1992, Personality, Elevated Blood Pressure and Essential Hypertension addresses the role of personality factors in the regulation of blood pressure and the pathogenesis of hypertension. It aimed to present a balanced review of a complex topic, and the editors believed that this book would be of interest to many different groups including clinical investigators, physiologists, psychologists, biological scientists, epidemiologists, and biomedical and behavioral science students. For those interested in the methods of cardiovascular–behavior studies, this book would serve as a valuable reference and teaching source. Today it can be read in its historical context.
