Hypertension - Inpatient management

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Audioboards, we break down the modern inpatient approach to hypertension management based on the latest American Heart Association scientific statement. From hypertensive emergencies to asymptomatic elevated blood pressure, we explore how clinicians should distinguish dangerous end-organ injury from transient stress-related BP elevations commonly seen in hospitalized patients.Through an interactive teaching-style discussion, we cover the A-I-M framework (Assess, Identify, Modify), pitfalls of inaccurate inpatient BP measurement, risks of aggressive PRN antihypertensive treatment, ICU management of true hypertensive emergencies, and the evidence behind avoiding unnecessary medication escalation in asymptomatic patients. AudioBoards is an audio-learning platform designed to help you review key topics and clinical vignettes while on the move.
