Association between retinal arterial narrowing and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in masked hypertensives

Morphological change in retinal vessel diameters has been reported to be associated with negative cardiovascular outcomes, but its association with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is not clear. This study aimed to examine the association between echocardiographic markers of LVDD and retinal vascular diameters, in untreated masked hypertension (MH). In this observational study, 105 MH patients without other cardiovascular risks were...
