Need for prehospital management of hypertensive peaks
ConclusionIn the management of hypertension, it is necessary to rely more on clinical tolerance than on the level of blood pressure to guide treatment. It is necessary to know how to diagnose a true hypertensive emergency associating generally very high blood pressure and a threatening clinical context justifying the use of an immediate treatment whose benefit must be greater than the risks incurred by a rapid fall in blood pressure.

Trends in Hospitalization for Hypertensive Emergency, and Relationship of End-Organ Damage With In-Hospital Mortality.
CONCLUSION: A rising trend in hospitalization for HTNE, with an overall decrease in in-hospital mortality was observed from 2002 to 2012, possibly related to changes in coding practices and improved management. Presence of acute cardiorespiratory failure, stroke/TIA, chest pain, and aortic dissection were most predictive of higher hospital mortality. PMID: 28430850 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Sex-related differences in presentation, treatment, and outcome of patients with atrial fibrillation in Europe: a report from the Euro Observational Research Programme Pilot survey on Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusion The EORP-AF Pilot survey provides contemporary data on sex differences in clinical features and management of AF patients participating in the EORP-AF Pilot registry. Female subjects were older and more symptomatic, compared with males, and were more likely to receive rate control. Also, female patients were at higher stroke risk overall, but oral anticoagulation was used in a high proportion of patients.
