Abstract:
Emergency state of health by arterial hypertension. According to the Burdenko Main Military clinical hospital at the present time the frequency of crisis hypertensive heart disease is 16% from the total number of all patients with this nosology. Rapid relief of hypertensive crisis should be provided for patients' status assessment from the position of development of fatal complications. Herewith the main task when treating hypertensive crisis is not normotension, but reduction of blood pressure to safe level, taking into account potential risk of hypotonia and hypoperfusion in case of too aggressive hypotensive therapy. The main factor of hypertensive crisis development is the absence of compliance. The authors gave recommendations on treatment of complicated and non-complicated forms of hypertensive crisis, and provided indications for hospitalization.
