I think it is right.
The concentration of adrenaline that is used in the LA is what is important. Usually the concentration ranges from1:50000 to1:200000.
Nowadays use of1:50000 concentration is extremely rare, as most dentists prefer to use1:80000 concentration.
In hypertensive patients, there have been many well controlled studies documenting the increase in systolic pressure after administration of1:80000 Adrenaline containing LA. Generally this increase is only about6-10 mm of Hg, thus in most cases it is manageable.
However, in patients who have uncontrolled hypertension, or with underlying cardiac disorders, the standard of care is to use1/4th the dose of Adrenaline used in a otherwise healthy patient, or to avoid use of Adrenaline containing LA entirely.
