Hypertensive crisis remains one of the leading causes of cardiovascular complications. Traditional risk scales focus on long-term consequences and fail to predict acute events in the primary setting. Objective: To develop and validate a Machine Learning model for short-term (7-day) prediction of hypertensive crises. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using electronic medical records of 50 patients with essential hypertension. Three different algorithms (Logistic Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost) were compared. Hemodynamic variability, biochemical markers, and medication adherence were taken as the main factors.
