Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is one of the most leading causes of death worldwide. It is an important risk factor for ischemic heart disease (IHD), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cerebrovascular diseases. Objectives: The aim of the study was evaluation of the status of blood pressure control and trends in prescribed antihypertensive medication usage among hypertensive patients in Shahrekord, Iran. Patients and Methods: In a cross-sectional descriptive study 250 hypertensive patients were enrolled. The patients were evaluated based on the status of blood pressure (BP) control and the prescription trends and efficacy of antihypertensive drugs. The data were also evaluated in subgroups of diabetics or non-diabetics, smokers or non-smokers, patients with or without CKD, patients with or without IHD. Results: A total of 250 patients (149 women and 101 men) were enrolled in this study. The mean age of participants was 66.22±13.58 years. Mean systolic and diastolic BP were 143.4±29.4 mm Hg and 85.8±12.5 mm Hg respectively. Poor controlled BP was seen in 106 patients. The more common prescribed antihypertensive drugs were angiotensin receptor blockers (46%), diuretics (33.6%) and beta-blockers (32.8%). Conclusion: The study showed that most of the patients had poor controlled BP and physicians increasingly prescribe angiotensin receptor blockers.
伊朗Shahrekord的抗高血压药物处方趋势
引言:高血压是全世界最主要的死亡原因之一。它是缺血性心脏病(IHD)、慢性肾脏病(CKD)和脑血管疾病的重要危险因素。目的:本研究旨在评估伊朗Shahrekord高血压患者的血压控制状况和处方降压药物使用趋势。患者和方法:在一项横断面描述性研究中,250名高血压患者被纳入研究。根据血压(BP)控制状况、降压药的处方趋势和疗效对患者进行评估。还对糖尿病患者或非糖尿病患者、吸烟者或非吸烟者、CKD患者或非CKD患者、IHD患者或非IHD患者的亚组进行了数据评估。结果:共有250名患者(149名女性和101名男性)被纳入本研究。参与者的平均年龄为66.22±13.58岁。平均收缩压和舒张压分别为143.4±29.4毫米汞柱和85.8±12.5毫米汞柱。106例患者血压控制不良。更常见的降压药是血管紧张素受体阻滞剂(46%)、利尿剂(33.6%)和β受体阻滞剂(32.8%)。
