Does retinal vessel calibre imaging predict incident heart failure and adverse cardiac structure/function?
Retinal vessel calibre imaging provides insight into systemic cardiovascular health by predicting incident heart failure and adverse cardiac remodeling 18 years in the future.
Retinal vessel calibre imaging, which characterizes retinal microvasculature, is a simple, non-invasive test that predicts incident HF and adverse cardiac structure/function 18 years in the future, thereby providing insight into systemic cardiovascular health.
Chandra et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
