Description
The goal of the accurate treatment of an hypertensive crisis is to reduce the critically elevated blood pressure to a safer level, in an hemodynamic point of view, although not necessarily normal. The authors stress that a prompt and correct diagnosis in distinguishing hypertensive emergencies from urgencies, in understanding its pathophysiology and the knowledge of available drugs is essential for a successful management.
