Identifiable hypertension now encompasses a large and growing spectrum of disorders from the most common associations (eg, diabetes), to rare genetic disorders and adverse reactions (eg, hypertension caused by anti- VEGF cancer therapy). Each of these disorders requires strategies for diagnosis and management that extend well beyond the usual treatment of hypertension for maximal benefit in preventing cardiovascular disease.
