AB Hypertension  is  a  common  finding  in  patients  presenting  to  the  emergency  department.  The  clinical  context  in  which  this  is  seen  can  represent  a  broad  spectrum  of  disease:  from  asymptomatic  individuals  incidentally  noted  at  triage  to  have  elevated  blood  pressures  to  critically  ill  patients  with  hypertension-induced  damage  to  critical  organs.  Determining  the  best  management  approach  to  such  patients  represents  a  significant  challenge,  as  well  as  a  frequent  source  of  controversy,  to  emergency  medicine  and  critical  care  clinicians.
