A member asked:
What's the highest bp that has ever been reported? if u would raise bp until something ruptured wich artery would rupture first u think?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Severe htn: I have seen systolic bp greater than 300 and diastolic bp over 160. Retinal arterioles famously show rupture first -- but not exclusively. Glomerular capillaries rupture easily too. And intracranial vessels are vulnerable - but uniquely protected by cerebral autoregulation
