Impact of systemic hypertension on inner retinal layer thickness and macular microvasculature in patients with diabetic retinopathy.
Hwa-Young YuJae-Jun KimJung-Tae KimMin-Woo LeePublished in: Acta diabetologica (2024)
Patients with both DR and HTN had a thinner GCC and lower VDs of SCP and DCP than those with DR alone. These outcomes could be associated with the synergistic ischemic effects in DR patients with HTN. Moreover, the duration of HTN in DR patients was significantly associated with macular VD in both SCP and DCP.
