Hypertension is a modern day epidemic, with the number people being diagnosed increasing year on year. Approximately 1% of those that are considered as hypertentive (have high blood pressure) are also at a risk of suffering with malignant hypertension.The particularly severe form of hypertension is when the blood pressure of an individual is very high, e.g. a systolic of greater than 200, and a diastolic reading of greater than 130mmHg.Although there is not one specific cause for these severely elevated blood pressure readings, there are thought to be some factors that can increase the risk. These include:- Taking some medications or drugs, including amphetamines, oral contraceptives, cocaine and MAOIs (Monoamine oxidase inhibitors prescribed for depression)- A history of kidney conditions or collagen vascular diseases, or a spinal cord disorder- Preeclampsia and eclampsia in pregnant women- Pheochromocytoma, which are tumours of the adrenal gland that cause excessive hormone release- Narrowing or distention of the aorta- When the arteries in the kidneys narrow- Potentially missing doses of hypertension medication. This can be particularly true when taking beta-blockers or clonidine, which can have the effect of making the condition worse (rebound effect).The most common reason for malignant hypertension is not complying with the prescription given. In fact, it is believed that about 50% of the people who are prescribed medication to reduce their blood pressure do not take the medication as prescribed.The risks also increase if the blood pressure reading of a person is greater than 140/90, and there are further risks if you are a man,
