I am sorry to hear of this situation. This is the first I have heard of this condition. I would start with a visit to a good cardiologist and a neurologist. What has your family doctor done about this? Have you seen any other specialists yet? Those BP readings seem very high to me, is she taking any meds to lower her BP?
I hope you find some answers here.

Thank you for your response. My wife's blood pressure is extremely high,
and is why it is called "malignant", meaning lethal. As I said, she has
been on the highest dose levels of pharmaceutical medications prescribed
for the past eight years. This is why she has outlived her father and uncle
by roughly 15 years. Still, I feel at 48, she is to young to be struggling
with her condition when there are specialists out there somewhere. Dr's
have been of little help other than the standard prescriptions, so I am
reaching out in the direction of the Mayo Clinic, and searching during the
little time I have each day.
Thanks again
