- Updated:Oct 22,2015. High blood pressure is a chronic condition, and the damage it causes to blood vessels and organs generally occurs over years. However, it is possible for blood pressure to rise quickly and severely enough to be considered a hypertensive crisis. To reduce morbidity and mortality in this situation, early evaluation of organ function and blood pressure elevations at these levels is critical to determine the appropriate management. Hypertensive crises can present as hypertensive urgency or as a hypertensive emergency.
