Lumen narrowing and increased wall to lumen ratio of retinal microcirculation are valuable biomarkers of hypertension-mediated cardiac damage

Lumen narrowing and increased wall to lumen ratio of retinal microcirculation are valuable biomarkers of hypertension-mediated cardiac damage

Purpose: In the course of hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction develop very often and may progress toward heart failure. The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between abnormalities of retinal microcirculation and cardiac damage defined as left ventricul...
