Hypertensive crisis is an acute, life-threatening condition associated with a sudden increase in blood pressure. If the increase is accompanied by end-organ damage, it is referred to as emergent situation; if the patient‘s complaints are due to high hypertension alone without organ damage, it is referred to as urgent situation.
