Retinal Endothelial Function, Physical Fitness and Cardiovascular Risk: A Diagnostic Challenge

Retinal Endothelial Function, Physical Fitness and Cardiovascular Risk: A Diagnostic Challenge

IntroductionDynamic retinal vessel analysis (DVA) is a new non-invasive method to quantify microvascular endothelial dysfunction by flicker light-induced dilatation (FID). FID has been shown to be impaired in type 2 diabetes as well as heart failure. The aim of the study was to analyze FID in health...
