Hypertensive urgencies (HU) or emergencies (HE) are characterized by a variable clinical presentation in patients with acute blood pressure (BP) increase to levels > 180/110 mmHg. According to the presence or absence of acute or progressive hypertension-mediated organ damage, they are classified into HE or HU, respectively [1–3]. The clinical profile of patients has been extensively described [4–8], while the recent hypertension guidelines or relevant consensus papers have drawn up specific treatment protocols [1–3].
