Quantitative retinal venular caliber and risk of cardiovascular disease in older persons: the cardiovascular health study.
BACKGROUND Small vessel disease may contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease in older persons. We describe the relation of retinal vascular caliber to incident coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke in elderly persons. METHODS Prospective population-based cohort study composed of 1992 men and women aged 69 to 97 years living in 4 US communities. Retinal arteriolar and venular caliber...
متن کاملThe temporal and nasal retinal arteriolar and venular angles in preterm infants.
AIM To determine the angle between the temporal or nasal retinal vessels in preterm infants and to determine the relationship of these angles to birthweight (BW), gestational age (GA) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) status. METHODS Colour digital images were acquired during ROP screening examinations in infants born with a range of BWs and GAs between 33 and 42 weeks postmenstrual age. F...
متن کاملAre narrower or wider retinal venules associated with incident hypertension?
Are Narrower or Wider Retinal Venules Associated With Incident Hypertension? To the Editor: Ikram et al1 reported recently that both retinal arteriolar and venular narrowing predict incident hypertension. The relationship between retinal arteriolar narrowing and incident hypertension has been clearly demonstrated in previous studies,2–4 but the reported association between retinal venular narro...
متن کاملRetinal arteriolar caliber and urine albumin excretion: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Changes in retinal microvascular caliber, which occur prior to onset of retinopathy, may indicate presence of kidney damage. METHODS This study examined the association between retinal arteriolar [central retinal artery equivalent (CRAE)] and venular caliber [central retinal venule equivalent (CRVE)] and presence of albuminuria (micro- or macroalbuminuria) among participants of the...
متن کاملRetinal venular caliber predicts visual outcome after intravitreal ranibizumab injection treatments for neovascular AMD.
PURPOSE To examine whether baseline retinal vascular caliber predicts visual response to intravitreal ranibizumab injections in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS In this prospective cohort study, patients with neovascular AMD received three monthly intravitreal injections of ranibizumab, followed by as needed dosing up to 1 year. Retinal vascular calibe...
