Retinal nerve fibre layer/ganglion cell‐inner plexiform layer thickness ratio in patients with systemic hypertension

Acute and chronic hypertension may have different pathophysiological mechanisms in the retina. Here, we compared the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL)/ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) thickness ratios of patients with 'relieved' severe hypertensive retinopathy (relieved HTNR) and chronic hypertension without retinopathy (chronic HTN) to those of normal controls.We performed cross-sectional study. The eyes were divided into the...
