The effects of systemic medications on ocular blood flow.

TL;DR: Some evidence exists for a positive effect of centrally acting calcium-channel blockers, nitric oxide precursors, adenosine, histamine, estrogens, and ginkgo biloba extract, while evidence for a negative effect on OBF exists for endothelin-1 and indomethacin.

Intraocular pressure and its relationship to ocular and systemic factors in a healthy Chinese rural population: the Handan Eye Study.

TL;DR: IOP appeared to be lower with increasing age in Chinese subjects, which contrasts with results in white populations, and mean IOP among persons living in rural northern China was similar to that recently reported in southern China.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heritability of intraocular pressure: a classical twin study.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that genetic effects are important in determining IOP in this twin population; genetic factors explained 62%, 63% and 74% of the variation in IOP using GAT, DCT and ORA IOPg, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is there a relationship between blood pressure and intraocular pressure? An experimental study in hypertensive rats.

TL;DR: A positive relation between blood pressure and intraocular pressure in hypertensive rats is suggested and general anesthesia reduced IOP significantly, although it abolished the development of hypertension in SHR.

The 1988 Report of the Joint National Committee on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure

TL;DR: This report updates findings of previous reports in several respects: it broadens the step-care approach to provide more flexibility for clinicians; encourages greater patient involvement in the treatment program; emphasizes a consideration of the quality of life in the management of patients; and addresses the cost of care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of glaucoma. The Beaver Dam Eye Study.

TL;DR: The prevalence of open-angle glaucoma in Beaver Dam is similar to that in other white populations, and findings from this study re-emphasize the notion that estimates of glauca prevalence should be based on assessing multiple risk indicators.
