Central vs. peripheral blood pressure components as determinants of retinal microvessel diameters

Central vs. peripheral blood pressure components as determinants of retinal microvessel diameters

Background: We assessed association of retinal arteriolar and venular diameters with central and peripheral blood pressure (BP). Methods: We post-processed retinal photographs from 514 participants randomly recruited from a Flemish population (mean age, 50.6 years; 50.8% women), using IVAN software...
