Objective To investigate on the antihypertensive therapy for hypertension patients in Wuhou District communities in Chengdu city and assess whether they have complied with the hypertension treatment guidelines. Methods In a survey of 1 539 community people, we selected 337 hypertensive patients who had detailed high blood pressure medication records. Results The main characteristics of community hypertension treatment included higher proportions of single-drug therapy (70.3%), and traditional compound preparation (13.9%). Calcium channel blockers (CCB) and beta blockers were most commonly used in the dual step-down scheme (39.7%), while CCB, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and beta blockers were mostly used in step-down triple combination. The control rate was 46.7% after antihypertensive drug treatment in the community.
