Subject: [0702c] Hypertensive crisis/urgency


   
  Hypertensive crisis means the patient's diastolic BP is above 120 mm Hg and 
she has end-organ damage, such as renal or heart failure (HF), myocardial 
ischemia or infarction, neurologic deficits, peripheral vascular disease, or 
retinal disease. Hypertensive crisis requires immediate treatment to prevent 
further organ damage.

Hypertensive urgency occurs when the diastolic BP is above 120 mm Hg but other 
systems aren't damaged. It can be resolved more slowly than hypertensive crisis 
(within a few hours). In either case, lowering the patient's BP too quickly 
could precipitate end-organ ischemia or infarction.
