    Summary

    Vascular risk factors significantly impact glaucoma progression. Identifying these factors, such as degenerative vasculopathies and arterial hypotension, is crucial for effective glaucoma treatment and management.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Cardiology

    Context:

    • The study investigated the link between vascular risk factors and primary glaucoma at the Central Military Hospital.
    • The research involved 533 patients diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG).

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the impact of vascular risk factors on the progression of primary open-angle glaucoma and normal-tension glaucoma.
    • To identify specific vascular risk factors prevalent in glaucoma patients.

    Summary:

    • 70.5% of patients had at least one vascular risk factor.
    • Degenerative vasculopathies were common in POAG patients, while arterial hypotension and spastic vasculopathies were more frequent in NTG patients.
    • Disease parameters worsened faster in patients with vascular risk factors.

    Impact:

    • Screening for vascular risk factors is essential for accurate glaucoma diagnosis and treatment.
    • Understanding these links can lead to improved patient outcomes and personalized therapeutic strategies.
