Sitting mean arterial blood pressures (MABPs) in patients with hypertensive urgency completing 1‐week follow‐up. All groups received clonidine 0.2 mg and chlorthalidone 25 mg initially and were discharged on clonidine 0.2 mg and chlorthalidone 25 mg b.i.d. Group 1 patients received hourly clonidine 0.1 mg up to four doses until diastolic BP (DBP) fell by 20 mm Hg or a DBP of 105 mm Hg was achieved. Group 2 received hourly placebo with the same directions. Group 3 was immediately discharged from the emergency department. Adapted with permission from Arch Intern Med. 1989;149:2186–2189. 12
