Hypotension following antihypertensive treatment is associated with retinal nerve fibre loss. There are studies that have reported the changes in RNFL in hypertensives.
To compare the Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer (RNFL) thickness using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in hypertensive and normotensive individuals.
The cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2012 to September 2014 to compare the RNFL thickness using SD OCT in hypertensive {no other ocular or systemic co-morbidity, vision better or equal to 6/9 (n=30)} and normotensive (n=30) individuals.
Statistically significant RNFL loss was detected in hypertensives (98.31 ± 7.01) when compared to the normotensives (102.51 ± 8.72) p=0.001.
Significant loss of RNFL in hypertensives point towards the altered autoregulation and warrants larger studies to assess the clinical relevance.
降压治疗后的低血压与视网膜神经纤维层损失有关。已有研究报道了高血压患者视网膜神经纤维层的变化。
使用光学相干断层扫描(OCT)比较高血压患者和血压正常者的视网膜神经纤维层(RNFL)厚度。
于2012年10月至2014年9月进行了一项横断面研究,以使用频域光学相干断层扫描(SD OCT)比较高血压患者(无其他眼部或全身合并症,视力≥6/9,n = 30)和血压正常者(n = 30)的RNFL厚度。
与血压正常者(102.51±8.72)相比,高血压患者(98.31±7.01)检测到具有统计学意义的RNFL损失,p = 0.001。
高血压患者RNFL的显著损失表明其自动调节功能改变,需要开展更大规模的研究来评估其临床相关性。
