Hypertensive Emergency is an umbrella term for a wide range of disease processes seen in the ED. They all represent as sick-as-stink patients with critical care up to your eyeballs.

At the end of this podcast learners will be able to:
- Articulate an understanding of at-risk organ systems in severe hypertension
