The purpose of this study is to investigate the epidemiology of resistant hypertension, evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a standardized drug treatment regimen (including the randomization of two doses of the diuretic used - chlorthalidone), study two interventions in the group of patients that is non-compliant, and study environmental and genetic variables of individuals with resistant hypertension in a family design.

Intracranial Hemorrhage, Hypertensive
Bleeding within the SKULL that is caused by systemic HYPERTENSION, usually in association with INTRACRANIAL ARTERIOSCLEROSIS. Hypertensive hemorrhages are most frequent in the BASAL GANGLIA; CEREBELLUM; PONS; and THALAMUS; but may also involve the CEREBRAL CORTEX, subcortical white matter, and other brain structures.
Standardized Nursing Terminology
Standardized terms used in the nursing field (e.g., NURSING INFORMATICS).
Chlorthalidone
A benzenesulfonamide-phthalimidine that tautomerizes to a BENZOPHENONES form. It is considered a thiazide-like diuretic.
Controlled Before-after Studies
A study in which observations are made before and after an intervention, both in a group that receives the intervention and in a control group that does not.
Post-exercise Hypotension
Transient reduction in blood pressure levels immediately after exercises that lasts 2-12 hours. The reduction varies but is typically 5-20 mm Hg when compared to pre-exercise levels. It exists both in normotensive and hypertensive individuals and may play a role in excercise related PHYSIOLOGIC ADAPTATION.
