Wiki Benign vs malignant hypertension

[shelahale]

Can someone please explain to me the difference between benign and malignant hypertension?

Malignant hypertension is a complication of hypertension characterized by very elevated blood pressure, and organ damage in the eyes, brain, heart and/or kidneys. Benign hypertension is a condition of mild to moderate hypertension. It may be progressing at a very slow pace, and so any damage being caused may take many years to develop.
