Arterial Hypertension, “knowledge pills for parents”, is the suggestive title of the book presented, last night, by its author Dr. Guillermo A. Pérez Fernández, a specialist in Cardiology, at the Cuban Hospital of Dukhan, Qatar. With a pleasant language, where there are many references to real medical cases of the author, it is possible to convey the importance of the subject that is covered by covering the "gaps" of knowledge of parents and family members and increasing the level of awareness before certain situations that make it more difficult the treatment of the hypertensive patient from childhood and adolescence. Is your child hypertensive? Maybe you are part of the problem yourself. Find out and act now; stresses Dr. Pérez Fernández who is also a Doctor of Medical Sciences, Fellow of the American Society of Cardiology and Member of the European Society of Arterial Hypertension.
With almost two decades dedicated to the study of arterial hypertension in childhood and adolescence, it constitutes a research paradigm in this field.
This book, which we consider a necessary guide for parents and family members in the prevention of this unwanted disease in our children, is the result of long days of research in schools in Qatar, with the support of the medical authorities of Qatar.
The presentation took place at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Doha, in the presence of the Cuban Ambassador, Hospital authorities, colleagues, friends and officials of the Cuban Embassy.
