This study evaluates the role of fluorescein angiography (FA) in detecting changes in the retinal and choroidal capillary bed in hypertension and defines its advantages over direct ophthalmoscopy. 37 patients with varying degree of severity of hypertension were studied. Direct ophthalmoscopy and FA was done in all cases. No significant difference was found in documenting vessel calibre and arteriovenous crossing changes with either of the methods. Hard exudates were not visualized on FA. Capillary bed and choroidal abnormalities could be better studied on FA which can be employed in selected patients of hypertension but its use is not advocated as a routine in all hypertensives.
本研究评估荧光素血管造影(FA)在检测高血压患者视网膜和脉络膜毛细血管床变化中的作用,并明确其相对于直接检眼镜检查的优势。对37例不同严重程度的高血压患者进行了研究。所有病例均进行了直接检眼镜检查和FA。两种方法在记录血管管径和动静脉交叉变化方面未发现显著差异。FA上未观察到硬性渗出。FA能更好地研究毛细血管床和脉络膜异常,可用于部分高血压患者,但不主张在所有高血压患者中常规使用。
