What would be possible etiologies for AV nicking/ narrowing seen in a consistently hypotensive patient with normal cholesterol levels?

[@Apratim98]

That summary is awesome...thanks you vry much!

[@carinaa.5439]

Great video! Thank you!

[@johnnyr.5092]

perfectly summarized! thank you.
i have a question though, how do i differentiate a HR grade 4 from a CRVO?
both have optic swelling, hemorrhages, SRF/IRF, Exsudates
the therapy is highly different. For HR i recommend RR control, but for CRVO with IRF we recommend Anti-Vegf and additional maybe laser treatment if the angiography shows avascular zones.

In CRAO is there edema if yes then why ?
Because artery is only blocked so no blood in capillary ,hence no hydrostatic pressure and hence no edema shd be present

[@irshadhussain8045]

Yes there is edema because the hypoxic/anoxic injury damages the cell membranes and the contents leak causing edema

[@leonk9837]

My ophthalmologist asked me last week whether I have high blood pressure because of the optic hypertension. I told her "no", and the general medical visits before and after that appointment have shown normal blood pressure. I'm curious as to what might be contributing to the optic hypertension. I'm supposed to redo my bloodwork as not all of the panels had gone through.

[@MarquosXoloVanda]

Did you ever find out about your optic hypertension?

[@leonk9837]

@@MarquosXoloVanda No. It's not known what's causing it.

Very basic explanation, not comprehensive! Quality of content should be more.
