Abstract: The antihypertensive treatment protocols of 4102 patients from the database of Changbai Community Health Service Center of Shanghai Yangpu District were analyzed.Patients with irregular drug treatment were excluded in the study.In 4102 hypertensive patients,45.6% took calcium channel blockers (CCB),16.0% took angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors ( ACEI),3.6% took AT1-receptor blocker (ARB),9.0% took β-adrenergic receptor blockers,4.7% took diuretics and 21.1% took compound preparation.68% patients were in single-drug protocol,29.3% in two-drug,2.6% in three-drug and 0.1% in four-drug.In patients with two-drug protocol,75.8% was based on CCB; three-drug or four-drug protocols were also based on the combination of CCB.The results indicate that the treatment protocol for hypertensive patients in our community health service center basically meets the requirements of International Society of Hypertension Treatment Guidelines,but the proportion of the single drug use seems to be high,more combination of antihypertensive drug use should by proposed.
