GameChangers: Hypertensive Urgency

Hypertensive urgency – asymptomatic patients with elevated blood pressure – is frequently treated in the hospital and outpatient setting. Join host, Geoff Wall, as he critically examines the evidence to assess risk over benefit.

THE GAMECHANGER: Treatment of asymptomatic hypertension has not been shown to improve clinical outcomes. Recent data highlights the risk with increased mortality through aggressive management.

Upon successful completion of this course, learners should be able to:
1. Explain the difference between hypertensive urgency and emergency
2. Discuss recent data about the possible harms of treating asymptomatic hypertension in the hospital setting
