Outcomes will be observed for 10 months under the current (traditional) clinical blood pressure threshold for acute treatment of hypertension, which is >= 160 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) systolic blood pressure (SBP). This will be followed by one month of education about rationale for the new SBP threshold of >= 180 mmHg and change of clinical guidelines.
