Describe the emergency management of hypertensive crisis.
A hypertensive crisis is a severe elevation in blood pressure (BP) that requires immediate intervention to prevent life-threatening complications. It is classified into two categories: hypertensive urgency and hypertensive emergency. In a hypertensive emergency, there is evidence of acute target organ damage, such as stroke, myocardial infarction, or renal failure, necessitating immediate treatment to lower BP.
