* I would like to submit the following definition for peer review and discussion for Malignant Hypertension. Malignant Hypertension is extremely high blood pressure that develops rapidly and causes some type of organ damage.  "Normal" blood pressure is <140/90.  A person with Malignant Hypertension has a BP typically >180/120 --mvpenner 11:02, 2015 April 15 (CDT)
** had a brief look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertensive_emergency and it looks like additional things need to be present to define as hypertension. would you be OK if we just linked to there as we do fro many articles? Ttenbergen 15:27, 2015 April 15 (CDT)
