This registry highlights critical issues in the ED management of HC and hypertension, including: underdiagnosis of chronic hypertension, insufficient admission of HE patients to intensive or coronary care units, overly aggressive treatment of HU, and underuse of fundoscopy and albuminuria screening. Addressing these deficiencies through guideline implementation, structured care pathways, and improved follow-up could enhance outcomes for this high-risk population.
