Résumé
22 patients (4 female, 18 male, mean age 47 +/- 10.7 years) with severe essential hypertension (n = 21) and renovascular hypertension (n = 1) were treated with a mean daily dosage of 16.3 +/- 5.1 mg minoxidil for up to 42 weeks. In addition, all patients received a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide or furosemide) and a beta-blocker (pindolol or propranolol). 8 patients were treated simultaneously with alpha-methyl-dopa. Within one week minoxidil led to a significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic supine blood pressure (p less than or equal to 0.005) from 201.3 +/- 29.0/125.4 +/- 19.2 mm Hg to 172.8 +/- 28.3/106.0 +/- 19.9 mm Hg. The maximum initial blood pressure response was observed after 3 weeks with a mean daily dosage of 12.2 +/- 9.4 mg of minoxidil (160.5 +/- 20.7/99.4 +/- 13.8 MM Hg, p less than or equal to 0.001). Throughout the remaining period a constant and significant reduction in supine systolic and diastolic and upright diastolic blood pressure was achieved (p less than 0.005-less than 0.001) whereas at times systolic blood pressure values could not be lowered significantly. Body weight and pulse rate showed no significant changes throughout the study. In some cases furosemide had to be added by up to 500 mg/day to counteract minoxidil induced water and salt retention. Only moderate doses of beta-blockers were required to prevent a drug induced rise in pulse rate. In these patients a significant change in renal function was not observed. The results show that minoxidil is a potent drug in the treatment of severe essential hypertension.
