| Abstract |
A 42-year-old man presented with 3 weeks of blurry vision in the right eye. His exam was significant for decreased vision in the right eye, diffuse retinopathy in both eyes, and serous retinal detachment in the right eye. The patient was found to be hypertensive with blood pressure of 256/160 mmHg. He was diagnosed with hypertensive emergency with end-organ damage due to features of hypertensive chorioretinopathy. He was admitted with abnormal urinalysis, elevated troponin, and abnormal EKG. After appropriate control of his blood pressure, his vision and his labs normalized. Hypertensive emergencies can be manifested first in the eyes. When the choroid is associated, the hypertensive event is often more acute and associated with increased morbidity. It is imperative to obtain a fundus exam in any patient with elevated blood pressure and concomitant vision complaints. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 May 2021.
All research outputs
#2,771,456
of 22,800,560 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Emergency Medicine
#86
of 602 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#37,395
of 265,382 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Emergency Medicine
#2
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,800,560 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 602 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 265,382 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
