Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of clonidine on refractory essential hypertension. Methods A total of 47 patients suffered refractory essential hypertension were included in the study, which were accepted treatment of clonidine(75 μg/8 h for 1 week, if did not reach the standard, changed to 150 μg/8 h). The difference of the clinic blood pressure, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM)and adverse reaction were compared before and after treatment. Results After treatment for four weeks, the clinic blood pressure and ABPM were significantly lower than that before treatment(P<0.05); the efficiency was 89.4% and 80.8% respectively, according to the clinic blood pressure and ABPM. Conclusion The clonidine had a good effect on refractory essential hypertension.
