What are the real-world prescription patterns of antihypertensive drugs in Chinese patients with hypertension?
In a real-world Chinese cohort, CCBs and ARBs are the most frequently prescribed antihypertensives, though combination therapy remains underutilized despite overall guideline compliance.
Potential gap in combination use among Chinese patients warrants monitoring; leaves open impact on control rates.
CCBs and ARBs were the two most frequently prescribed for patients with hypertension. The prescription pattern of antihypertensive medications in the study largely complied with recommended Chinese hypertension guidelines.Key messagesCardiovascular disease is the most common complication of hypertension.Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are the two most commonly used drugs for hypertension patients in China.The proportion of combination prescription pattern in Chinese hypertensive patients is low.
