Abstract/OtherAbstract:

Many patients with glaucoma suffer from arterial hypertension (AH). It has been proved that both AH and low blood pressure (BP) at night are important vascular risk factors for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The aims of this study were to assess the severity of pathological changes within the optic nerve and characteristics of blood flow in selected arteries of the eyeball and orbit in patients with POAG and controlled hypertension, in relation to the time of hypotensive drugs administration. Eighty-eight patients with POAG and treated, controlled hypertension were examined. The patients were divided into two subgroups, consisting of group A (n = 43), in whom hypotensive drugs were dosed only in the morning and group B (n = 45), in whom hypotensive drugs were also taken in the evening. In patients who were taking hypotensive drugs also in the evening (group B), there was a statistically significant lower mean perfusion pressure at night, a greater visual field loss and reduced amplitude of evoked potentials. Our analysis showed significantly worse changes in the parameters relating to the optic nerve in patients taking hypertensive medicines in the evening and also significantly lower perfusion pressures at night. |
