Purpose:
|
To evaluate the asymptomatic cardiac disease in patients with ocular pseudoexfoliation.
|
|
Methods:
|
Forty two patients with ocular pseudoexfoliation (with or without glaucoma) and 40 patients without pseudoexfoliation who had no positive signs or symptoms of cardiac diseases were enrolled in this study. For each participant standard treadmill exercise test, as a non invasive and reliable method for detection of ischemic heart disease, was performed under supervision of a cardiologist. Main outcome measure was positive exercise test. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 16.
|
|
Results:
|
Mean±SD age of patients was 68.38±8.10 years in pseudoexfoliation group and 62.45±8.40 years in participants without pseudoexfoliation . There was no statistically significant difference between 2 groups in terms of diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, smoking and family history of ischemic heart disease. Twenty patients (47.6%) with pseudoexfoliation and 9 patients(22.5%) without pseudoexfoliation had hypertension (p=0.02). There were 10 (23.8%) positive exercise test in pseudoexfoliation group and 8(20%) positive exercise test in participants without pseudoexfoliation (p=0.78).

|
Conclusion:
|
Ocular pseudoexfoliation is not associated with increased risk of asymptomatic ischemic heart disease evaluated by treadmill exercise test.
