Podcast 701: Elevated Blood Pressure Readings
Manage episode 299057169 series 1397179
Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD
Educational Pearls:
- Recent retrospective cohort study looked at elevated BP readings in the ED and correlation to underlying hypertension
- Large cohort of over 30,000 patients found that nearly 50% had an elevated blood pressure reading in the ED
- Less than 15% of patients with elevated BP readings in the ED were diagnosed with hypertension within 2 years
- Only 25% of patients with BP readings >160/100 were diagnosed with hypertension within 2 years
- Patients with an elevated blood pressure reading of >160/100 had only a slightly increased risk of stroke, transient ischemic attack, acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, or death in the next 2 years
