Ischemic stroke or subarachnoid or intracerebral hemorrhage -- Intravenous labetalol Other first-line agents include transdermal nitroglycerin paste and intravenous nicardipine
nitroprusside should be considered second-line therapy
Sublingual nifedipine should be avoided
o Antihypertensive agents previously were advocated for an SBP greater than 160 mm Hg or diastolic BP (DBP) greater than 90 mm Hg.
o Keep systolic blood pressure 90-140 mm Hg before aneurysm treatment, then allow hypertension to keep systolic blood pressure less than 200 mm Hg
acute pulmonary edema -- Nitroprusside or nitroglycerin with a loop diuretic
Drugs that increase cardiac work (hydralazine) or decrease cardiac contractility (labetalol or other beta blocker) should be avoided
Angina pectoris or acute myocardial infarction - nitroprusside and nitroglycerin
Aortic dissection - beta blocker such as propranolol or labetalol. +/- Nitroprusside
