Thank you. See this a lot as an acp working AIM. Probably would have added endocrine as another cause category to cover things like pheo and conns. Element of bias though as currently waiting adrenalectomy for conns myself!!

A great video elaboration of the “no evidence just stop!” article written in Today’s hospitalist some time back

You're doing a great job with these videos doc, helping students and MD's.
Doctor, what do you think about the new guidelines that consider the numbers 130/80 to be first stage hypertension? Do you agree with that and do you think those numbers should be lowered in healthy individuals?
Also, what do you think is the best medicine to give on an hypertensive emrgency caused by severe anxiety?

This is such a valuable topic, and yes hydralazine is evil, especially if continued on the outpatient basis. So many of my patients get switched from their regular antihypertensives to hydralazine in the hospital. They are discharged on TID hydralazine and I have to deal with it....

Thank you Dr. Strong for the extremely valuable educational resource. Just a question... how do you lower BP of a specific percentage? In other words, once you choose the drug, how do you choose the dose to aim for a 20% reduction in 1h?

You’re also limited by what can be given on the floor at a given hospital. My hospital has no problem with IV hydralazine but anything like labetalol or iv nitro they’ll need to be in ICU.

thanks for the review. i have been on either side of the bed on this, having had HTN since I was 8, & as an emergency nurse, realizing this is scary. Working as part of a team diagnosing // treating the underlying cause can be challenging, being far more than administering sublingual nitroglycerin, iv lasix, or iv labetalol.

Are there any lectures notes on the “How to approach different symptoms “ series

[ghadeernajim]

Thank you for another great video again🔥
Doc there is something I would like to ask : Do you know any resources ( textbook, websites ) that describe in details the exact practical informations and steps in our practice in internal medicine and emergency medicine because for example when I studied shock in a high-rated and well recognized book for emergency medicine it did not mention practical points like shock index or fluid calculation by using shock percent until I found these informations accidentally on internet websites.
So please if you can recommend any resources that would provide sufficient practical knowledge I would be thankful .
