Popis:	To study the pharmacoepidemiology of hypertensive disease (HD) in the Ulyanovsk Region, as well as its conformity to the present state-of-the-art, prescriptions were analyzed by examining the outpatient medical records of hypertensive patients treated in different therapeutic-and-prophylactic institutions of Ulyanovsk and its Region. A total of 681 outpatient medical records were analyzed. The treatment of hypertensive patients in the Ulyanovsk Region is up to the present-day recommendations. The basic classes of antihypertensive agents prescribed by the physicians of the Ulyanovsk Region were angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors used in 84,6% of the cases, diuretics in 66.1%, calcium antagonists and ß-adrenoblockers in 28,2 and 27,8%, respectively. In the Ulyanovsk Region, the proportion of long-acting antihypertensive agents prescribed to patients with HD was found to remain low as compared with the results of the PIFAGOR study, which is mainly accounted for by economical causes.
