As I frequently remind occasional visitors, this blog is simply my online medical study notes [what used to be called my peripheral brain which, before there were smart phones, was a little notebook doctors carried around with information they wanted to have immediately available].
I recently listened to and reviewed the show notes to the two outstanding Curbsiders podcasts which cover this post’s title subjects:
- Episode #31: Diuretics, leg cramps, and resistant hypertension with The Salt Whisperer MARCH 20, 2017 with nephrologist Dr. Joel Topf [Link is to Dr. Topf’s blog – The Salt Whisperer]
- Episode #39: Secondary hypertension, hyperaldosteronism, Cushing’s, and pheochromocytoma MAY 15, 2017 By MATTHEW WATTO, MD.
And I’ve embedded both episodes below so that I can have easy access:
Next I reviewed the following blog posts on hypertension.
