Clinical review: the management of hypertensive crises Varon J; Marik PECrit Care 2003[Oct]; 7 (5): 374-84Hypertension is an extremely common clinical problem, affecting approximately 50 million people in the USA and approximately 1 billion individuals worldwide. Approximately 1% of these patients will develop acute elevations in blood pressure at some point in their lifetime. A number of terms have been applied to severe hypertension, including hypertensive crises, emergencies, and urgencies. By definition, acute elevations in blood pressure that are associated with end-organ damage are called hypertensive crises. Immediate reduction in blood pressure is required only in patients with acute end-organ damage. This article reviews current concepts, and common misconceptions and pitfalls in the diagnosis and management of patients with acutely elevated blood pressure.|*Critical Care[MESH]|Acute Disease[MESH]|Antihypertensive Agents/classification/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypertension/diagnosis/*drug therapy/epidemiology/physiopathology[MESH]|United States/epidemiology[MESH] |
