Key result
Mild retinopathy did not correlate with markers of target organ damage in the overall population, though a significant relation was found in men and younger participants.

Mild hypertensive retinopathy correlates with vascular target organ damage in younger patients and men, but its routine clinical value for cardiovascular risk stratification remains limited.

Mild hypertensive retinopathy correlates with vascular target organ damage in younger patients and men, but its routine clinical value for cardiovascular risk stratification remains limited.
Cuspidi et al. (2015) conducted an editorial in Hypertension (n=107). Mild retinopathy (Wong-Mitchell classification) vs. No mild retinopathy was evaluated on Correlation with target organ damage (pulse wave velocity and common carotid wall cross-sectional area). Mild retinopathy did not correlate with markers of target organ damage in the overall population, though a significant relation was found in men and younger participants.
