Hypertensive group without retinopathy and control group
were recruited from the primary care and had a MR scan
with the three-dimensional pseudo-continuous arterial
spin labeling (3D pCASL) and routine sequences. Compared
to the control group, hypertensive patients implied the
reduced CBF values on visual cortex without the
statistical volume loss which may implicated there is a
variety of the hemodynamics prior to the change of the
morphology in the visual cortex in hypertension. Future
studies in larger cohorts and longitudinal follow-up are
needed to investigate the functional and prognostic
significance of the early visual cortex perfusion deficits
observed.
