    TLDR Minoxidil can cause heart muscle damage in dogs.
    The study found that minoxidil, a vasodilating antihypertensive drug, can induce acute cardiomyopathy in dogs, causing heart muscle damage. The authors suggest that detection of myocardial necrosis should be an important factor in assessing the overall cardiotoxic potential of vasodilating antihypertensive drugs.
