In order to stop further organ damage, the first objective is to promptly lower the blood pressure with intravenous (IV) blood pressure drugs.

  • The terms "hypertensive crisis" and "hypertensive urgency" are interchangeable. Both of these disorders develop when blood pressure rises significantly and can lead to organ damage.
  • Blood pressure spikes and readings of 180/110 or higher are called hypertensive urgency, even if no organs are damaged. Blood pressure medications can safely lower blood pressure within hours.
  • A hypertensive emergency is an emergency in which organ damage is possible due to very high blood pressure. Imminent organ damage should be avoided by immediately lowering blood pressure.
  • Emergent hypertension is rare. Such cases often occur when high blood pressure is untreated, when people forget to take their blood pressure medicine, or when they take over-the-counter medicines that make high blood pressure worse.

The first objective is to promptly lower the blood pressure with intravenous (IV) blood pressure drugs.
