Key result
Two-week treatment with diuretics as add-on therapy was sufficient to control blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled-resistant hypertension.
Why the study?
Does 2-week treatment with diuretics as add-on therapy improve blood pressure control in patients with uncontrolled-resistant hypertension?
Does 2-week treatment with diuretics as add-on therapy improve blood pressure control in patients with uncontrolled-resistant hypertension?
Short-term (2-week) diuretic add-on therapy is investigated for blood pressure control in uncontrolled-resistant hypertension.
May support short-term diuretic add-on for resistant hypertension; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation.
Background and Aim: Diuretics used as a first line therapy in the management of hypertension. Spironolactone is the fourth drug that indicated in the management of resistant hypertension. This study aimed to clarify the importance of using short term therapy for 2 weeks as add on therapy in the management of uncontrolled-resistant hypertension. Materials and Methods: A total number of 120 patients
