Researchers have uncovered vascular “fingerprints” in the eye that are strongly associated with increased risk for stroke.

Cross-sectional studies have previously shown an association between retinopathy and clinical stroke. Thus, Cheung et al. aimed to see “if retinal microvascular abnormalities in fact predicted ...

A large study of patients with acute stroke suggests that the substantial proportion who have acute lacunar stroke could have an underlying non-atherothrombic, occlusive, small-vessel disease ...

Retinal vascular "fingerprints" can predict stroke risk with accuracy comparable to traditional invasive methods Changes in retinal blood vessel density, caliber, and twistedness are strong ...

Non-invasive eye exams could improve stroke prediction models by analyzing retinal density, complexity, and tortuosity. Study: Retinal vascular fingerprints predict incident stroke: findings from ...

This connection explains why changes in your retinal vasculature can predict stroke risk with remarkable accuracy. The research team analyzed data from over 45,000 participants. This massive study ...

A recently published study revealed that routine eye examinations could accurately predict a person's risk of stroke, using a retinal "vascular fingerprint" comprised of 29 indicators of vascular ...

Further, a decrease in complexity and twistedness of the retina's vascular network was associated with an increase in stroke risk by 10.5 per cent to almost 20 per cent.

A new study has identified a set of 29 vascular health indicators on the retina, making a “fingerprint” that can help predict a person’s stroke risk. Researchers believe this method provides ...

This retinal 'vascular fingerprint', even when combined with just age and sex, was as good as the use of traditional risk factors alone for predicting future stroke risk, the findings showed.

Blood vessels in the eye's retina can help predict risk of stroke as accurately as known risk factors, such as high cholesterol, without requiring invasive lab tests, according to a research.
