Abstract:
Hypertensive retinopathy (HR) often coexist with carotid lesions in hypertensive patients.Carotid lesions are closely associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases,as well as end events,offering early important evidence to screening high risk patients.HR has significant value to predict target organ damage (TOD) of hypertension including carotid lesion.In addition,hypertensive retinopathy and carotid lesions-related ischemic ocular diseases will cause serious vision function damage.This article is going to summarize the value and correlation between hypertensive retinopathy and carotid lesions in terms of clinical manifestations,pathological physiological mechanism and target organ damage.
