Acute Severe Arterial Hypertension: Therapeutic Options
Current Drug Targets, 08/27/09
De Gaudio AR et al. – Treatment for hypertensive crisis should achieve a progressive control of blood pressure, avoiding any abrupt decrease in organ blood supply. Therapeutic options are many and different in terms of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic profiles. The best option should be based upon the characteristics of the patient and the pathophysiology of the hypertensive crisis . Of particular interest, some agents are metabolized by blood esterase and have a very short half life (e.g., clevidipine). This allows tight titration of their effect, which is advisable when carefully lowering blood pressure. This is of particular importance when treating hypertensive crisis in surgical patients both intra–operatively or in critical care.
