Emergenze e urgenze ipertensive Dr. Enrico Haupt Direttore S.C. Medicina d’Urgenza Ospedale di Lavagna Chiavari Centro Benedetto Acquarone 15/3/2008 Crisi ipertensiva • Emergenza ipertensiva • Urgenza ipertensiva Emergenza ipertensiva JNC 7 Rialzo severo di PA (>180/120) con evidenza di iniziale o progressivo danno d’organo • • • • • • ENCEFALOPATIA IPERTENSIVA EMORRAGIA INTRACEREBRALE IMA INSUFF. V. SIN.CON EPA ANGINA INSTABILE ECLAMPSIA ESC Rialzo pressorio associato a danno d’organo acuto • • • • • • ENCEFALOPATIA IPERTENSIVA INSUFFICIENZA VENTRICOLARE SIN INFARTO MIOCARDICO ANGINA INSTABILE DISSEZIONE AORTICA ESA O EVENTO CEREBROVASCOLARE • • CRISI ASSOCIATE A FEOCROMOCITO.. ASSOCIATE AD USO DI COCAINA, LSD, ANFETAMINE, ECTASY IPERTENSIONE PERIOPERATORIA PREECLAMPSIA O ECLAMPSIA • • URGENZA IPERTENSIVA JNC 7 Le urgenze ipertensive sono situazioni associate a rilevante innalzamento della PA senza disfunzione progressiva degli organi target : • Ipertensione stadio II e severa cefalea • Fiato corto • Epistassi • Ansietà severa ESC Aumenti rilevanti della PA associati a danno d’organo acuto,come quelli che talora si rilevano negli anziani con ipertensione sistolica isolata , sono impropriamente definite emergenze, e dovrebbero essere trattate con prontezza , ma nello stesso modo dei rialzi di pressione cronici JNC 7 • Hypertensive Emergencies: require hospitalization and parenteral drug therapy • Hypertensive Urgencies: usually do not require hospitalization Fattori che concorrono a determinare il significato clinico e prognostico di un rialzo pressorio • Valori pressori : PAS > 220 mmHg e/o PAD > 120-130 • La rapidità di insorgenza dei valori pressori elevati • La presenza di danno acuto d’organo • Il sistema nervoso centrale possiede meccanismi di autoregolazione della circolazione cerebrale, volti a proteggere il parenchima da variazioni eccessive o repentine della pressione arteriosa sistemica. • In caso di riduzione della PA o di aumento delle resistenze intracraniche, si verifica una progressiva dilatazione delle piccole arterie di resistenza; • l’aumento progressivo della PA comporta costrizione arteriolare con aumento delle resistenze Ipertensione maligna (accelerata) • PAD in genere >140 • Emorragie e essudati retinici • papilledema Papilledema fase conclamata TERAPIA • In caso di emergenza ipertensiva è sufficiente la riduzione della MAP del 1015% nella prima ora e comunque mai più del 25% (eccezione per la dissecazione aortica) Antihypertensive treatment in patients with Cerebrovascular Disease (2007 ESCguidelines) • There is at present no evidence that BP lowering has a beneficial effect in acute stroke but more research is under way. Until more evidence is obtained antihypertensive treatment should start when poststroke clinical conditions are stable, usually several days after the event. Additional research in this are is necessary because cognitive dysfunction is present in about 15% and dementia in 5% of subjects aged ≥65 years Stroke e PA: fase acuta SPREAD IV ED. • PAD >150 nitroglicerina o nitroprussiato • PAS >220 o PAD 121-140 labetololo ev • PAS 185-220 o PAD 105-120 rimandare la terapia (pazienti no RtPa) • PAS<185 PAD<105 no terapia Hypertension in pregnancy • In pre-eclampsia with pulmonary oedema, nitroglycerine is the drug of choice. Diuretic therapy is inappropriate because plasma volume is reduced in pre-eclampsia. Magnesium sulphate is effective in the treatment of seizures • Under emergency circumstances, intravenous labetalol, oral methyldopa and oral nifedipine are indicated. Intravenous hydralazine is no longer the drug of choice because of an excess of perinatal adverse effects. Intravenous infusion of sodium nitroprusside is useful in hypertensive crises, but prolonged administration should be avoided (fetal cyanide poisoning) Is epistaxis evidence of end-organ damage in patients with hypertension?

Absence of association between hypertension and epistaxis: a population-based study. Fuchs FD, Moreira LB, Pires CP, Torres FS, Furtado MV, Moraes RS, Wiehe M, Fuchs SC, Lubianca Neto JF Blood Press. 2003; 12(3): 145-8 A definite association between blood pressure and history of adult epistaxis in hypertensive patients was not found. The evidence for an association of duration of hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy with epistaxis suggests that epistaxis might be a consequence of long-lasting hypertension. Active epistaxis at ED presentation is associated with arterial hypertension.

Answer: We found very little information with which to answer this question, and the information we did find suggests the association between epistaxis and hypertension is still controversial (1-4). We did however find one paper published in 1996 on hypertensive, urgencies and emergencies (5) which discusses the prevalence and clinical presentation. The authors found that of the most frequent presentations epistaxis accounted for 17%. 1.http://www.hubmed.org/display.cgi?uids=12875475 2.http://www.hubmed.org/display.cgi?uids=11880870 3.http://www.hubmed.org/display.cgi?uids=10650229 4.http://www.hubmed.org/display.cgi?uids=9740920 5.http://hyper.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/27/1/144 Date Posted : 17/07/2007 Lavagna: il vecchio ospedale
