Association Of Hypertensive Retinopathy With Angiographic Severity Of Coronary Artery Disease Determined By Syntax Score.

Background: Hypertension is a leading cause of morbidity among developing and developed countries. Hypertensive Retinopathy is a micro vascular complication of long standing hypertension while CAD is a macro vascular complication. The main objective of the study was to determine the association between worsening grade of hypertensive retinopathy with angiographic severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) measured by Syntax Score.

Hypertensive Retinopathy: A Prognostic Factor for Morbidity and Mortality after Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Objective: To determine the association between hypertensive retinopathy (HR) and post ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complications among successfully thrombolysed patients.

Study Design: A cohort study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Cardiology Unit, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, from June 2016 to December 2017.
