The combination of low diastolic blood pressure and high IOP in patients with moderate to advanced glaucoma was associated with faster ganglion cell complex thinning rates, according to a study.
A total of 105 eyes of 105 participants in the Advanced Glaucoma Progression Study were included in the analysis. They all underwent clinical examination and macular OCT imaging every 6 months to monitor macular structural changes.
After adjusting for confounding factors, lower diastolic blood pressure (DBP) combined with higher IOP was associated with faster rates of ganglion cell complex (GCC)
