Abstract

Introduction: The association between hypertensive retinopathy and coronary heart disease is a subject of long-standing controversy. Hypertensive retinopathy has long been defined as a predictor of mortality and morbidity in hypertensive patients. In addition, recent studies have shown that the retinal microvasculature reflects pathology in small systemic vessels, including the coronary microcirculation.

Objectives: The aim was to perform a systematic review and a qualitative and quantitative analysis by meta-analysis to determine the association between hypertensive retinopathy and coronary heart disease.

Methods: A systematic search for studies related to the topic was performed. The search source was PubMed and Google Scholar. The systematic review and meta-analysis were developed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.

Results: An association between hypertensive retinopathy and coronary artery disease was demonstrated (P=0.01; RR 1.29; 95 % CI: 1.06 to 1.56), left ventricular hypertrophy was evaluated as an outcome, a statistically significant effect was found associating hypertensive retinopathy with left ventricular hypertrophy (P=0.03; RR: 1.71; 95 % CI: 1.31 to 2.24).

Conclusions: An association was found between hypertensive retinopathy and the most frequent coronary heart diseases (coronary artery disease and LVH).
