Abstract:
The unclear relationship between hypertensive retinopathy (HR) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in hypertensive patients necessitates further investigation. Therefore, it is of interest to examine the association between hypertensive retinopathy (HR) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with hypertension. The study included patients diagnosed with hypertension, assessing the presence of HR using fundoscopic examination and LVH through echocardiography. Results revealed a significant correlation between the severity of hypertensive retinopathy and the presence of LVH, suggesting that HR may serve as an early marker for LVH in hypertensive patients. Thus, we show the potential of HR as a non-invasive indicator for cardiovascular risk in hypertension management.
