“…11 Multiple systemic and ocular conditions are associated with CRVO. 7,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Many studies have confirmed higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients with CRVO. 16,[21][22][23][24] Co-existing DM is reported in 10-34% of patients with CRVO and may affect the natural history in this subgroup of patients.…”

“…25,26 Patients with DM have a higher risk of subsequently developing ischemic CRVO and neovascular complications. 14,27 A higher prevalence of DM has been noted among those patients developing CRVO. However, detailed assessment of risk factors in DM patients that may predict the development of retinal ischemia and neovascularization following CRVO is lacking.…”

“…[68][69][70] Systemic hypertension was also found to be associated with branch macular vein occlusions in younger patients. 71 A recent study 72 found a significantly higher prevalence of arterial hypertension in branch retinal vein occlusion compared with central and hemi-central retinal vein occlusion. Arterial hypertension was also more likely to be present in ischaemic rather than nonischaemic central retinal vein occlusion.…”

Systemic hypertension is a common condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Hypertension confers cardiovascular risk by causing target-organ damage that includes retinopathy in addition to heart disease, stroke, renal insufficiency and peripheral vascular disease. The recognition of hypertensive retinopathy is important in cardiovascular risk stratification of hypertensive individuals. This review reevaluates the changing perspectives in the pathophysiology, classification and prognostic significance of fundal lesions in hypertensives.

“…such as hypertension or diabetes mellitus have been reported. However, the cause of BRVO in old people without these systemic disorders remains unclear (Klein et al 2000;Hayreh et al 2001). Our results suggest that the total blood vessel area decreases along with aging and that MABP has a small impact on people aged over 60.…”

Fundus photographs enable non-invasive analysis of the status of the microcirculation by directly observing the retinal vasculature. Retinal microvascular abnormalities are important clinical markers of hypertension and arteriosclerosis, but retinal microvascular changes can be observed in older individuals without hypertension. In this study, our goal is to elucidate the effects of aging on fundus vessels in the retinal photograph. We analyzed retinal vessels of 161 healthy volunteers (49.5 ± 18.7 years, range 18-87) using in-house computer-aided measurement system to measure areas and diameters of all retinal vessels across the entire area of a retinal photograph. The vessels were segmented according to color, and then their area, size, length and thickness were measured by image processing. We also analyzed the correlation between total blood vessel area, age and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP). The decrease in total blood vessel area was dependent on both age and MABP. Moreover, decrease in blood vessel area was also correlated with age for the normotensive group. Furthermore, the slope of the regression line for retinal vessel area with MABP was significantly higher in participants aged ≤ 60 years than in those aged over 60 years. Changes in retinal vessel area with aging were observed in both arterioles and venules. In conclusion, we found the significant decrease in retinal vessel area that is correlated well with calendar age. Therefore, we need to carefully apply traditional classifications of fundus examination for hypertensive retinopathy in older individuals.
