Blood Pressure, Arterial Stiffness, and Open-angle Glaucoma: The Rotterdam Study
Caroline A. A. Hulsman,Johannes R. Vingerling,Albert Hofman,Jacqueline C.M. Witteman,Paulus T. V. M. de Jong +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated cross-sectional associations among blood pressure (BPs), arterial stiffness, and open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and found that htOAG was associated with high pulse pressure, possibly with increased carotid arterial stiff, and only in persons treated for systemic hypertension, with low diastolic perfusion pressure.

Effect of nocturnal blood pressure reduction on circadian fluctuation of mean ocular perfusion pressure: a risk factor for normal tension glaucoma.
TL;DR: Marked circadian MOPP fluctuation was associated with nocturnal BP reduction and may be a risk factor for the development of NTG.

The Relationship Between Components of Metabolic Syndrome and Open-Angle Glaucoma
TL;DR: At a time when the prevalence of metabolic disorders in the United States, is increasing this study furthers the understanding of risk factors associated with OAG and helps identify persons who may be at increased risk for this condition.

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.

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.
