80 Guanetidinviðgerð av ov høgum blóðtrýsti sama fyrikoming av eygnabotnsbroytingum (retinopathia diabetica) hjá sjúklingum, sum hava haft drúgvføra sukur* sjúku frá ungum árum, kann hava somu atvold. Hetta skal eg viðgera gjøllari í eini komandi rannsóknarfrásøgn um fyrikoming sukursjúkunnar og gongd hennara í Førf oyum. SUMMARY The author has examined 35 patients with malignant hypertension treated at the medical ward, Landssjúkrahúsið, Tórshavn, and concludes that this disease is as frequent in the Faroe Islands as in other western countries. The course of the disease, however, seems to be milder, especially with regard to changes in the optic fundi (hemorrhages and exudates), even if the patients have had the disease for several years. Changes in the electrocardiogram and X=ray of the heart run pro* portionally with the severity of the hypertension. An apparently mild hypertension can in a couple of years develop into a malignant one, frequently among females between 50 and 60 years of age. I suppose that the milder course, especially with regard to the eyeground, may be due to other habits of eating in the Faroe Islands than in other western countries. The most important difference is the intake of unsaturated fatty acids6. In this connection it is emphasized that retinopathia dia» betica is seldom seen in this country, even if the patients have had diabetes mellitus for many years; perhaps it is also due to the intake of the above-mentioned food, which possibly protects against arterios sclerosis.
