Abstract
In order to determine the relevance of ophthalmoscopic findings in cases of hypertension as compared to electrocardiographic abnormalities and disorders of the renal function, the authors examined 728 patients admitted to the German diagnostic Clinic (Wiesbaden) with hypertension over a period of 2 years. In all cases blood pressure was measured twice, and ophthalmoscopy, electrocardiography, a chest X-ray, and a laboratory checkup were performed. The effective renal plasma flow was measured in 100 cases using the 131 iodine-Hippuran clearance method. The results revealed that ophthalmoscopy is the most reliable method for classifying early and more advanced stages of hypertension, as compared to ECG and measurement of the effective renal plasma flow.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
