Hypertensive urgencies are common in patients with high blood pressure, often involving organ damage. Treatment lacks clear evidence, making management challenging for clinicians.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Nephrology
  • Internal Medicine

Context:

  • Hypertensive urgencies represent frequent clinical events in patients diagnosed with hypertension.
  • Existing definitions for hypertensive urgencies lack consistency, though they often involve target end-organ damage during emergencies.

Purpose:

  • To provide a brief overview of the epidemiology and pathophysiology of hypertensive urgencies.
  • To highlight the challenges in managing hypertensive crises due to limited therapeutic evidence.

Summary:

  • This review discusses hypertensive urgencies, common in hypertensive patients and often linked to end-organ damage.
  • Epidemiology and pathophysiology are briefly covered, emphasizing inconsistent definitions.
  • Treatment of hypertensive crisis is complex due to a lack of evidence for specific agents and dosages.

Impact:

  • Highlights the need for standardized definitions and evidence-based treatment guidelines for hypertensive urgencies.
  • Informs clinical practice regarding the management of patients experiencing hypertensive crises.
