摘要：

In a review of data from retail and mail-order pharmacies and survey data from 343,655 office-based physicians, we noted that prescriptions for class I agents decreased by, >50% (to 2.4 million in 2000), whereas those for class III agents doubled (to 2.7 million in 2000). The most common associated diagnoses were atrial arrhythmias, ischemic heart disease, and hypertensive heart disease; prescriptions for the latter 2 conditions represent a practice not based on evidence from clinical trials.
