Retinal vascular occlusion (RVO) occurs when small veins in the back of the eye become blocked, and blood cannot flow through them. The condition can affect vision but does not cause total blindness.

Retinal vascular features identified as potential predictors of stroke risk Download PDF Copy By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. Jan 20 2025 ...

Researchers have found that use of retinal vascular analysis for prediction of stroke risk is superior to traditional prediction models.

Notably, the retinal "vascular fingerprint," even when combined with just age and sex, was as effective as traditional risk factors alone for predicting future stroke risk, including measures such ...

Adding these retinal vascular parameters to traditional risk factors improved the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) from 0.739 to 0.752 (P < .001).

A vascular 'fingerprint' on the light sensitive tissue layer at the back of the eye-the retina-can predict a person's risk of stroke as accurately as traditional risk factors alone, but without ...

Among the female hormone therapy cohort, 41 cases (0.01%) of retinal artery occlusion and 68 cases (0.02%) of retinal vein occlusion occurred, compared with 373 cases (0.05%) of retinal artery ...
