Emergency room team-based care for severe high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way of giving care to people who come to the emergency room with dangerously high blood pressure. It uses a team to help you manage your blood pressure after you leave the ER, possibly lowering your risk of future heart problems or strokes.
