  • Title: [Classification of the forms of hypertensive retinopathy on the basis of estimation of the bioelectrical retinal potential and contrast sensitivity].
    Author: Shamshinova AM, Arakelian MA, Rogova SIu, Adasheva TV, Silakova OL.
    Journal: Vestn Oftalmol; 2007; 123(1):24-8. PubMed ID: 17361800.
    Abstract:
    The paper gives the results of electroretinographic and psychophysical studies in hypertensive patients with first-, second-, and third-degree blood pressure (BP) elevation. The most characteristic functional symptoms of hypertensive retinopathy were defined at different stages of its development. There may be impaired retinal bioelectrical activity and diminished contrast and color sensitivity both in the presence and absence of ophthalmoscopically visible changes. Based on the findings, the authors have developed a functional classification of hypertensive retinopathy in relation to the degree of BP elevation.
