Patients with essential hypertension complicated by stage\u0000II and III retinopathy of the Kirkendall’s classification were included. Each patient was seen 3 times over a period of 9\u0000months. G1 were in stage III and G2 in stage II. The factors compared were: prevalence of heart failure, renal failure\u0000and stroke, as well as the mortality rate. The relative risk, the Student’s test with a threshold of significance less than\u00000.05 were the statistical tests used.\u0000Results: Prevalence of heart failure, renal failure and stroke were respectively: 53.85% G1 vs 15.38% G2 (p <0.05),\u000038.46% G1 vs 7.69%, G2 (p <0.05) and 30.77% G1 vs 0.00% G2 (p <0.05).
