Monitorização ambulatorial da pressão arterial de pacientes com oclusão do ramo da veia central da retina

Objetivos: Identificar, com auxilio da Monitorizacao ambulatorial da pressao arterial (MAPA), em pacientes com oclusao do ramo da veia central da retina (ORVCR): a prevalencia de hipertensao arterial sistemica (HAS), possiveis casos de normotensao do avental branco (NTAB) e a variacao circadiana da pressao arterial (PA). Metodos: Foram avaliados, prospectivamente, 93 casos/olhos de 83 pacientes com ORVCR encaminhados a Clinica Oftalmologica do Hospital das Clinicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Sao Paulo. Posteriormente, os pacientes foram encaminhados a Liga de Hipertensao da Disciplina de Nefrologia do HCFMUSP (LH-HCFMUSP) para avaliacao clinica e realizacao da MAPA / Objective: Identifying with Blood pressure monitoring (BPM) in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO): high blood pressure (HBP) prevalence, possible cases of white-coat normotension (WCNT) and variation of circadian blood pressure (BP). Methods: Prospectively, 93 cases/eyes of 83 patients with BRVO were evaluated at Ophthalmological Clinic of “Hospital das Clinicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Sao Paulo” (HCFMUSP). After that, patients were taken to Hypertension League of Nephrology Chair of HCFMUSP (LH-HCFMUSP) for clinical evaluation and blood pressure monitoring. Non-dipper was defined as a fall in systolic blood pressure ≤ 10 per cent, and dipper when this value was higher...
