Relationship of Ocular Microcirculation, Measured by Laser Speckle Flowgraphy, and Silent Brain Infarction in Primary Aldosteronism

Abstract

PA patients with SBI were older and had lower MBR BOT than those without SBI. Our analysis showed that age was a risk factor for SBI, and that BOT was a protective factor, in patients with PA. This suggests that BOT, a non-invasive and objective biomarker, may be a useful predictor of SBI and form part of future PA evaluations and clinical decision-making.
