Quantification of Retinal Vessel Myogenic Constriction in Response to Blood Pressure Peaks: Implications for Flicker Light-Induced Dilatation

Quantification of Retinal Vessel Myogenic Constriction in Response to Blood Pressure Peaks: Implications for Flicker Light-Induced Dilatation

Background/AimsFlicker-light induced retinal vessel dilatation (FID), a marker of microvascular endothelial function, has been shown to be blunted in sedentary cardiovascular risk patients (SR) as well as healthy physically active individuals (HA). This study aimed to quantify the retinal myogenic r...
