Study of the impact of the vascular systemic risk factors on peripapillary vascular density by optical coherence tomography angiography.
Background: The focus of therapeutic tools in glaucoma has been mainly to control of intraocular pressure. Recently there has been a growing interest in investigating the relationship of vascular risk factors in the development of glaucoma. The aim of this study was to assess the association between systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia, and peripapillary vascularization measured by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) in glaucoma and healthy subjects.
Methods: In this unicenter, observational, cross-sectional study, 212 subjects, 118 glaucoma patients and 94 controls were consecutively recruited. Of these, 86 participants were excluded due to poor OCTA image quality. Therefore, 146 subjects were included in the final analysis, 74 glaucoma patients and 72 controls. Using a linear regression model, with 95% confidence and 80% statistical power, the effect of vascular risk factors on OCTA parameters in the 146 subjects included in the final analysis was studied.
Results: No significant impact of vascular risk factors on OCTA measurements was found. Diabetic patients tended to show a lower peripapillary perfusion vascular density than subjects without diabetes (β 0.016, 95%CI 0.003;0.030, p 0.016). Similarly, hypercholesterolemia patients appeared to show less peripapillary flow index than non-hypercholesterolaemic patients (β 0.029, 95%CI 0.013;0.046, p 0.001). Glaucoma patients had 0.02% lower peripapillary perfusion vascular density (β 0.020, 95% CI 0.011;0.029, p < 0.001), 0.04% lower peripapillary flow index (β 0.036, 95%CI 0.022;0.051, p < 0.001) and 9.62% thinner retinal nerve fibre layer (β 9.619, 95%CI 5.495;13.744, p < 0.001).
Conclusions: In conclusion glaucoma has greater effect on peripapillary vascular density parameters than any of the vascular risk factors analyzed.
Key messages: What is known: • Vascular disfunction plays an important role in the development of glaucoma. • Optical coherence tomography angiography makes it possible to assess the retinal microvasculature and the role that its alterations could have in the development of glaucoma.
What is new: • Decrease of the peripapillary microcirculation seems to be more related to the increase in intraocular pressure and the glaucoma itself than to the presence of cardiovascular risk factors. • The effect of having diabetes, systemic arterial hypertension or hypercholesterolaemia on vascular parameters or nerve fibre layer thickness was low. • There was also no relevant impact of the systemic medication used for these diseases on the peripapillary vascular parameters studied or on nerve fibre layer thickness.
