RESUMO
In-patient hypertension is a common problem seen in the hospital setting. Current evidence-based guidelines define and address management of hypertension in ambulatory care and hypertensive emergencies in the hospital setting. However, they lack guidance for the management of acute asymptomatic/non-emergent hypertension in the hospitalised patient. The risk-benefit of treating inpatient asymptomatic hypertension is largely unknown. In this narrative review, we discuss current evidence-based perspectives to address this clinical entity. (AU)
La hipertensión de los pacientes ingresados es un problema frecuente en el ámbito hospitalario. Las directrices actuales basadas en la evidencia definen y abordan la gestión de la hipertensión en la atención ambulatoria y las urgencias hipertensivas en el ámbito hospitalario. Sin embargo, no hay orientaciones sobre la gestión de la hipertensión aguda asintomática/no urgente en el paciente hospitalizado. Se desconoce en gran medida la relación riesgo-beneficio del tratamiento de la hipertensión asintomática en los pacientes hospitalizados. En esta revisión narrativa analizamos las perspectivas actuales basadas en la evidencia para abordar esta entidad clínica. (AU)
