P56 CENTRAL PULSE PRESSURE IS ASSOCIATED WITH RETINAL ARTERIOLAR WALL THICKNESS AND WALL CROSS SECTIONAL AREA AS EVALUATED BY ADAPTIVE OPTICS
Introduction: In 1991 Baumbach et al demonstrated taht pulse pressure (PP) but not mean arterial pressure (MAP) was correlated with pial arterioles wall cross-sectional area (WCSA)in rats. Adaptive optics (AO) allows a near-histological evaluation of retinal microcirculation (which shares the same e...
