In hospitalized children, IV hydralazine was well tolerated, BP response was variable, and 21 % of the patients achieved a ≥25 % reduction of systolic or diastolic BP. Further studies are needed to compare the safety and efficacy of IV hydralazine to other short-acting antihypertensive agents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
