What is accelerate hypertension?
Answers: Accelerated hypertension (malignant hypertension) is the term used to describe severe hypertension (180mmHg systolic and 110mmHg diastolic) occurring beside retinopathy of Grade III (flame haemorrhages, dot and blot haemorrhages, hard and soft exudates) to Grade IV (papilloedema).1
The finding of accelerate hypertension in a lenient demands urgent referral for assessment and treatment in charge to minimise end-organ damage and dampen the risk of life threatening events such as myocardial infarction, encephalopathy, and intracerebral or subarachnoid haemorrhage.
