    Author: Burris JF.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1985 Jul; 32(1):97-109. PubMed ID: 4013967.
    Abstract:
    Hypertensive emergencies require prompt and aggressive treatment to prevent target organ damage and death. A variety of neurologic, cardiac, renal and other conditions may underlie a hypertensive crisis. A number of highly effective drugs are now available to treat hypertensive crises, including well-known agents like sodium nitroprusside and diazoxide, as well as newer drugs such as nifedipine and captopril. Some older medications have been superseded by newer agents.
