pubmed:abstractText
120 subjects, 90 hypertensives and 30 age-matched controls, were evaluated by fundoscopy and echocardiography to assess the degree of target organ involvement. The hypertensive patients were divided into 3 groups (mild, moderate, severe hypertension) according to their diastolic blood pressure levels. No significant difference was demonstrated in left ventricular mass among the 3 groups. Moreover, no relationship was demonstrated between the degree of hypertension and the severity of fundoscopic changes. Our findings indicate that patients with no retinal changes show a low probability of left ventricular hypertrophy and that patients with left ventricular hypertrophy show a high probability of retinal involvement. Our data indicate that fundoscopy is more sensitive than echocardiography in the recognition of the hypertensive disease.
