Objective To determine the drug usage and risk factors control in elderly patients with chronic stable angina. Methods From Jun 1, 2010 to Dec 1, 2010, patients with coronary artery disease in Outpatient Department of Air Force General Hospital were surveyed. Totally 186 elderly patients with chronic stable angina were screened out and their data were statistically analyzed. Results The usage rates of anti-plate drugs, nitrate, statins, beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/ angiotensin-receptor blockers and calcium channel blocker were 87.1% (162/186), 84.9% (158/186), 68.8% (128/186), 54.8% (102/186), 50.0% (93/186) and 48.4% (90/186) respectively. There was no significant difference in these drugs usage and risk factors control rate between the males and the females (P＞0.05). The qualification rate for low density lipoprotein cholesterol in the subjects was 34.9% (65/186). The qualification rate for blood pressure in patients with complicated hypertension or chronic renal diseases was 58.3% (77/132). The qualification rate for HbA1c in patients complicated with diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance was 43.1% (25/58). There was no statistical difference between males and females (P＞0.05). Conclusions The drugs usage in elderly patients with chronic stable angina has not met the standard according to the guideline on chronic stable angina yet. It is urgent to improve the risk factors control status for elderly patients with chronic stable angina.
