Does the new software 'SLDF version 4.0' improve the reliability of measuring retinal arteriolar morphology compared to the old software in healthy persons and hypertensive patients?
The new SLDF version 4.0 software provides highly reliable in vivo measurements of retinal arteriolar structure, which is useful for assessing arteriolar remodeling in hypertension.
Haraźny et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Arterial hypertension (n=28). New software 'SLDF version 4.0' for scanning laser Doppler flowmetry vs. Old software version was evaluated on Coefficients of variation of retinal arteriolar structural parameters. The new software 'SLDF version 4.0' demonstrated high reliability for assessing retinal arteriolar structural parameters, with coefficients of variation significantly less than 10% for most measures.
