Over the past 30 years, substantial evidence has guided the diagnosis and management of elevated blood pressure in outpatient settings. However, there is a notable absence of comparable evidence for acute care settings, leading to significant variations in practice. This document discusses the implications of elevated blood pressure in inpatient settings, including hypertensive emergencies, and emphasizes the need for swift treatment in cases of acute target-organ damage. It also examines factors affecting blood pressure measurement accuracy and treatment protocols for managing elevated blood pressure in acute care.
