A hypertensive emergency is a situation in which uncontrolled hypertension is associated with acute end-organ damage. Most patients presenting with hypertensive emergency have chronic hypertension, although the disorder can present in previously normotensive individuals, particularly when associated with pre-eclampsia or acute glomerulonephritis.

Medical Clinics of North America, 2017
A rapid and severe increase in blood pressure resulting in new or progressive end-organ damage is defined as hypertensive emergency. Clinicians should effectively use the patient interview, physical examination, and additional testing to differentiate hypertensive emergency from nonemergent hypertension. Patients with evidence or high suspicion for end-

Medical Clinics of North America, 1979
The clinical syndrome of accelerated hypertension is a relatively rare complication of hypertensive disease. The syndrome is recognized by high blood pressures, progressive neurologic and visual symptoms, acute renal damage, cardiac failure, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. When diagnosed, it must be recognized as an acute medical emergency.

Hypertensive emergencies are defined as conditions where a seriously elevated blood pressure imposes a substantial threat to a patient's life or vital organ functions. Since acute blood pressure reduction by lowering cardiac output and/or vascular resistance itself has the potential for serious and even life-threatening complications, treatment should ...

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2011
Systemic hypertension (HTN) is a common medical condition affecting over 1 billion people worldwide. One to two percent of patients with HTN develop acute elevations of blood pressure (hypertensive crises) that require medical treatment. However, only patients with true hypertensive emergencies require the immediate and controlled reduction of blood ...

Critical Care Clinics, 2001
In summary, patients presenting with a true hypertensive emergency should be diagnosed quickly and promptly started on effective parenteral therapy (typically nitroprusside 0.5 microgram/kg/min or fenoldopam 0.1 microgram/kg/min) in an intensive care unit. Blood pressure should be reduced about 25% gradually over 2 to 3 hours.

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1995
Hypertensive emergencies are uncommon and physiologically diverse. Consequently, it is difficult for most physicians to develop a familiarity with all the different hypertensive crises and with all drugs available for treating them (Table 4). Clinicians should not agonize over which is the perfect therapeutic agent for a particular emergency, but ...

Cardiovascular Hypertensive Emergencies
Current Hypertension Reports, 2015Inevitably, a small proportion of patients with systematic hypertension will develop hypertensive crisis at some point. Hypertensive crises can be divided into hypertensive emergency or hypertensive urgency according to the presence or lack of acute target organ damage. In this review, we discuss cardiovascular hypertensive emergencies, including acute

Pediatric Hypertensive Emergencies
Current Hypertension Reports, 2014Hypertensive emergency is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate evaluation and treatment. In children, severe hypertension can be caused by a variety of different underlying conditions. It usually presents with neurological involvement; however, signs and symptoms of injury to the kidneys, myocardium and eyes can also be present ...
