Abstract :

Severe elevation of blood pressure >180/120 mmHg in presence of acute organ damage leads to hypertensive emergency and patients should have their BP lowered immediately but not to normal level. The most common clinical presentations of hypertensive emergencies are cereal infarction, pulmonary edema , hypertensive encephalopathy and congestive heart failure .Other clinical presentations associated with hypertensive emergencies include intracranial hemorrhage, aortic dissection, and eclampsia, as well as acute myocardial infarction. Early screening, evaluation and proper management of hypertensive emergencies can prevent morbidity and mortality at the mass level.
