Usefulness of the Vasodilator Minoxidil in Resistant Hypertension

The study investigated the effectiveness of the vasodilator minoxidil in treating resistant hypertension. The research, conducted by the J-HOME Study Group, found that minoxidil significantly reduced blood pressure in patients who did not respond to conventional antihypertensive therapies. The study included a substantial number of participants, which strengthened the reliability of the findings. The results suggested that minoxidil could be a valuable option for managing resistant hypertension, providing an alternative for patients who had limited treatment options.
