Objective To investigate the blood pressure control effect of captopril sustained-releasetablets based combination, antihypertensive therapy on hospitalized high-risk patients with hypertension in high altitude region. Methods According to the blood pressure,risk factors and combined target organ damage,331 hospitalized patients with essential hypertension were divided into 2 groups and accepted different treatment:low-risk group had monotherapy (n=102) , and night-risk group had captopril sustained-release-tablets based combination antihypertensive therapy (n =229). The discharge blood pressure,extent of SBP/DBP decrease and the compliance rate of discharge blood pressure of two groups were compared. Results The extent of SBP/DBP decrease in hight-risk group was significantly greater than low-risk group (SBP [36. 83 ± 22. 23] mm Hg vs.[28. 74 ±18.71] mm Hg,t=-3. 207,P <0. 05;DBP[22. 04±13. 57]mm Hg vs. [17. 98 ± 13.63] mm Hg,t =-2. 509, P < 0.05). The average discharge blood pressure in both groups reach the standard criterion, but no significant difference was observed between the two groups (SBP [125. 62 ± 14. 74] mm Hg vs. [122. 28 ±13.13]mmHg,t=-1. 962,P>0. 05;DBP[80. 67 ±9. 82]mm Hg vs. [78. 40 ±9. 97]mm Hg,t =-1.910,P > 0. 05). Furthermore we found no significant difference in the control rate of blood pressure between high-risk and low-risk group (72. 06% vs. 71. 57% , x2 = 0.928, P > 0. 05). Conclusion The captopril sustainedrelease-tablets based combination antihypertensive therapy is a reliable treatment in high-risk patients with hypertension from high altitude region,which shows satisfying blood pressure control rate.
