Pharmacoepidemiological aspects of antihypertensive therapy in persons of elderly and senile age
Abstract
The medical records of the hypertensive patients treated at the Krasnoyarsk regional hospital for war veterans have been analyzed in order to study the pharmacoepidemiology of elderly and old patients’ hypertensive disease and its conformity with the latest recommendations. It has been found out that the treatment of hypertensive patients in the Krasnoyarsk regional hospital for war veterans meets the present-day recommendations. The study shows that basic classes of antihypertensive agents prescribed by the physicians of the Krasnoyarsk regional hospital for war veterans are the angiotensin - converting enzyme inhibitors (55,44% of the cases), diuretics (17,99%), calcium antagonists (9,11%). The proportion of combined antihypertensive agents prescribed to patients with HD is 100%.
