Abstract

Retinopathy commonly occurs in people with type 1 diabetes. Strict glycaemic control can decrease development and progression of retinopathy only partially. Blood pressure is also a risk factor for microvascular complications. Antihypertensive therapy, especially with inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), can slow progression of nephropathy, but the effects on retinopathy have not been established. We investigated the effect of lisinopril on retinopathy in type 1 diabetes. As part of a 2-year randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial, we took retinal photographs at baseline and follow-up (24 months) in patients aged 20-59 in 15 European centres. Patients were not hypertensive, and were normoalbuminuric (85%) or microalbuminuric. Retinopathy was classified from photographs on a five-level scale (none to proliferative). The proportion of patients with retinopathy at baseline was 65% (117) in the placebo group and 59% (103) in the lisinopril group (p = 0.2). Patients on lisinopril had significantly lower HbA1c at baseline than those on placebo (6.9% vs 7.3 p = 0.05). Retinopathy progressed by at least one level in 21 (13.2%) of 159 patients on lisinopril and 39 (23.4%) of 166 patients on placebo (odds ratio 0.5...Continue Reading
