High Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention : the Official Journal of the Italian Society of Hypertension 2018 September

A hypertensive emergency may be defined as a condition characterized by an acute and severe elevation of blood pressure (BP) associated to a new onset or worsening organ damage (OD).
