Abstract

The pattern of cardiovascular diseases (61%) was studied in patients with tuberculous uveitis, there was a prevalence of primary (34.6%) and secondary (8.6%) arterial hypertensions. There was an association of complicated tuberculous uveitis (subretinal neovascularization, pigment and neuronal epithelial detachment) with the presence of cardiovascular diseases, central and peripheral hemodynamic disorders. A greater reduction in visual functions was ascertained in concurrent abnormalities in the experimental group (0.55 +/- 0.07) than in the controls (0.80 +/- 0.04). The paper recommends that patients with eye tuberculosis and contaminant cardiovascular diseases should be registered and the continuity of their combined antituberculous and pathogenetic treatments ensured; functional studies expanded to make an early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in patients with tuberculous uveitis; the efficiency of treating the underlying and concomitant cardiovascular diseases separately evaluated.
