About Accelerated Hypertension

Accelerated hypertension, also known as hypertensive urgency, is a severe and rapid increase in blood pressure that requires immediate medical management by an internal medicine specialist. This condition is characterized by systolic pressure often exceeding 180 mmHg and/or diastolic pressure over 120 mmHg, but without evidence of acute, ongoing target organ damage. The procedure involves a comprehensive evaluation to identify the underlying cause, followed by the controlled, gradual lowering of blood pressure using intravenous or oral antihypertensive medications in a monitored setting. The goal is to prevent progression to a hypertensive emergency, which involves organ damage, and to establish a long-term management plan. This intervention is critical for reducing the immediate risk of stroke, heart attack, or kidney failure.
