Additional Info

  • Malignant hypertension is extremely high blood pressure that develops rapidly and causes some type of organ damage. "Normal" blood pressure is below 140/90. A person with malignant hypertension has a blood pressure that's typically above 180/120. Malignant hypertension should be treated as a medical emergency.
  • Malignant Hypertension only coded if it is an emergency and organ damage is evident.
  • 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
    • 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
      • Thank you!--mvpenner 06:04, 2015 April 16
        • Does that mean you agree that adding a link would be a solution/improvement? Ttenbergen 17:39, 2015 April 16
          • Thank Tina. I agree with posting the link, but also see benifit in having a brief summary in the definitions.--mvpenner 07:56, 2015 April 20 (CDT)
            • Sure, but it needs to include all the relevant parts. From reading the wikipedia entry I didn't think the one you proposed would. Could someone more medical weigh in? I am just looking at it from a consistency angle... Ttenbergen 13:55, 2015 April 20
