Hypertensive Emergencies

High blood pressure with potentially life-threatening symptoms and signs of acute impairment of one or more organs (heart, brain, eyes, aorta or kidneys) is a hypertensive emergency. Hypertensive urgency is defined as having a blood pressure greater than 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure greater than 110 mmHg. Hypertensive emergency is characterized as high blood pressure consistent with hypertensive urgency, plus evidence of imminent irreversible damage to organs mediated with hypertension (HMOD).

Symptoms may include nausea, headache or vomiting. Chest pain can occur as a result of increased workload on the heart resulting in insufficient oxygen delivery to meet the metabolic needs of the heart muscle. The neck may be affected, resulting in urine blood or protein, and acute kidney failure. People may have decreased urine intake, fluid retention, and confusion.
