Authors

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the correct management of hypertension in emergency departments. Studies were identified searching PubMed up to April 30, 2012, combining the terms €˜HYPERTENSIVE EMERGENCY' and €˜HYPERTENSIVE URGENCY'. The search strategy was limited to English and Italian language papers on adult and pediatric patients. Hypertensive crises are commonly found in emergency departments. A range of pharmacological options are available in this setting, but each physician should tailor theoretical principles to the individual patient according to his or her clinical parameters.

PlumX Metrics

PlumX Metrics  provide insights into the ways people interact with individual pieces of research output (articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and many more) in the online environment. Examples include, when research is mentioned in the news or is tweeted about. Collectively known as PlumX Metrics, these metrics are divided into five categories to help make sense of the huge amounts of data involved and to enable analysis by comparing like with like.
