摘要：Background As to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease, our major challenge faced in clinical practice is effective drug therapies to prevent rupture of AAA. At present, there wasn't definite evidence that other drugs had a role in inhibiting AAA rupture except for beta blocker. In our study, we evaluated the role of calcium channel blocker (CCB) played in prevention of AAA rupture. Methods A total of 460 subjects with AAA, aged 29 to 89 years, at least twice admitted into our hospital from January 2000 to April 2010. All of them accepted ultrasound examination for scanning abdominal aortic aneurysm at each admission period. Results Our results revealed that AAA patients suffered from rupture took little CCB and beta-blockers. Treatment with CCB or beta blocker was negatively related to risk of rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm, and drugs such as statins, angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocker (ARB) or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) hadn't positive or negative effect on AAA. C reactive protein level was lower in patients with taking CCB than those without CCB. Conclusions CCB therapy was negatively related to AAA rupture, and possibly was another kind of drug for.
