Hypertensive urgency or emergency? Spot the difference...

This video makes reference to guidelines produced by the "National Institute for Health and Care Excellence" in the UK, also referred to as "NICE". Please note that the content on this channel reflects my professional interpretation/summary of the guidance and that I am in no way affiliated with, employed by or funded/sponsored by NICE. My name is Fernando Florido and I am a General Practitioner in the United Kingdom. In this episode, I go through the concept of Hypertensive Urgency as opposed to Hypertensive Emergency. I am not giving medical advice; this video is intended for health care professionals; it is only my summary and my interpretation of the guidelines and you must use your clinical judgement.
