New European Hypertension Society Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension recommend unattended blood pressure measurement use for hypertensive urgencies in the Emergency Wards. Available evidence shows that, in the specific situation of hypertensive urgencies, BP is reduced to less than 160/100 mmHg or even lower values in 30 min in 30% of the patients when unattended BP measurement is used. The implementation of unattended blood pressure measurement could avoid a significant number of antihypertensive treatments.
