Key result
Sodium nitroprusside manages pediatric hypertensive crisis complicated by acute LV dilatation and heart failure.
Why the study?
Hypertensive crisis can lead to acute left ventricular dilatation, heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension, requiring effective treatment strategies.

May support sodium nitroprusside in hypertensive crisis with acute LV dilatation; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
Hypertensive crisis is thought to be initiated by an abrupt increase in systemic vascular resistance, likely related to humoral vasoconstrictors. Left ventricular dilatation and failure may develop as a result of increased afterload due to hypertension. Left heart failure may result in secondary pulmonary hypertension by increasing pulmonary venous pressure. Here, we report the effects of sodium nitroprusside for treatment of hypertensive crisis complicated with acute left ventricular dilatation, heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension in a 10-year-old female patient. This article presents a complex clinical case treated by simple medication. [Med-Science 2014; 3(2.000): 1269-76]

Kılıç et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Hypertensive crisis complicated by acute left ventricular dilatation, heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension (n=1). Sodium nitroprusside was evaluated. Sodium nitroprusside was used to treat a 10-year-old female patient with hypertensive crisis complicated by acute left ventricular dilatation, heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension.
