[Alpha-1 inhibition. Knowledge and prospectives].
Increased vascular peripheral resistances is the most frequent hemodynamic modification found in arterial hypertension. Arterial vasodilators therefore seem to be an appropriate therapeutic mean in this pathology. Alpha inhibitors to which prazosin belongs are potent arterial vasodilators. Prazosin's new galenic form will allow a larger therapeutic field.
