Figures & data

Figure 1. Prescription rate of antihypertensive drugs for both databases. The five most frequently prescribed classes for all hypertensive patients (dashed line: – -) and those with heart failure (solid line: ―) in the (a) MDV and (b) JMDC databases. ARB, angiotensin II receptor blocker; ACEI, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; BETA, β-blocker; CCB, calcium channel blocker; DIU, diuretic; JMDC, Japan medical data center; MDV, Medical data vision.

Figure 2. Prescription rate of first-line antihypertensive drug class in the JMDC database. The five most frequently prescribed classes for all hypertensive patients (dashed line: – -) and those with heart failure (solid line: ―). ACE, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB, angiotensin II receptor blocker; BETA, ß-blocker; CCB, calcium channel blocker; DIU, diuretic; JMDC, Japan medical data center.

Figure 3. Prescription rate of each diuretic category for both databases. All hypertensive patients (dashed line: – -) and those with heart failure (solid line: ―) in the (a) MDV and (b) JMDC databases. AA, aldosterone antagonist; JMDC, Japan medical data center; MDV, Medical data vision.

Figure 4. Prescription rate of each diuretic category for each medical institution in the JMDC database. All hypertensive patients (dashed line: – -) and those with heart failure (solid line: ―) in (a) hospitals and (b) clinics. AA, aldosterone antagonist; JMDC, Japan medical data center.
