Significant hypertension can develop in 15 to 40 percent of patients undergoing various types of cardiac surgery. These hypertensive episodes can occur at almost any time before, during or after open or closed chest operations. The various hypertensions encountered in this context do not form a homogeneous entity; they are nt due to the same causes and do not necessarily develop by the same mechanisms. Their frequency and seriousness have been demonstrated by reports from many centers: hence, the urgent need for accurate definition of their various types to allow correct identification and therapy. A classification based on well defined clinical events is therefore proposed and possible mechanisms for the more common types of hypertension are reviewed. Prophylactic measures nclude reassurance, attention to details of anesthesia and maintenance of preoperative antihypertensive therapy when indicated; for patients with coronary artery disease, preventive nitrate therapy as well as prompt attention to chest pain is essential. Both general and specific antihypertensive measures to control the more common types of hypertension complicating cardiac surgery are outlined.
