Minoxidil is an antihypertensive that works by directly dilating peripheral vessels. This medication is typically reserved for patients with resistant hypertension, whose blood pressure remains above goal despite being on multiple agents. A rare but potentially dangerous side effect of Minoxidil is drug-induced pericardial effusion. Here we report a case of a patient who was taking Minoxidil and subsequently developed a large pericardial effusion, with concerns for impending cardiac tamponade.
米诺地尔是一种通过直接扩张外周血管起作用的降压药。该药通常用于治疗耐药性高血压患者，这些患者尽管使用了多种药物，但血压仍高于目标值。米诺地尔的一个罕见但潜在危险的副作用是药物引起的心包积液。在此，我们报告一例服用米诺地尔的患者随后出现大量心包积液，并伴有心脏压塞的潜在风险。
