The study found significant associations between retinal microvascular changes and various cardiac diseases, including acute coronary syndrome, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and conduction abnormalities. The retinal microvasculature can provide essential data about concurrent cardiac disease status and predict future risk of cardiac-related events.
The substantial burden of heart disease promotes an interest in new ways of screening for early disease diagnosis, especially by means of noninvasive imaging. Increasing evidence for association between retinal microvascular signs and heart disease prompted us to systematically investigate the relevant current literature on the subject. We scrutinized the current literature by searching PubMed and Embase databases from 2000 to 2020 for clinical studies of the association between retinal microvascular signs and prevalent or incident heart disease in humans. Following exclusions, we extracted the relevant data from 42 publications (comprising 14 prospective, 26 cross-sectional, and 2 retrospective studies). Our search yielded significant associations between retinal vascular changes, including diameter, tortuosity, and branching, and various cardiac diseases, including acute coronary syndrome, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and conduction abnormalities. The findings of our research suggest that the retinal microvasculature can provide essential data about concurrent cardiac disease status and predict future risk of cardiac-related events.
