Lawton S. Cooper,Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong,Ronald Klein,A. Richey Sharrett,R. Nick Bryan,Larry D. Hubbard,David Couper,Gerardo Heiss,Paul D. Sorlie +9 more
TL;DR: Retinal microvascular abnormalities are associated with MRI-defined subclinical cerebral infarcts independent of stroke risk factors, and data suggest that retinal photography may be useful for studying subclinical cerebrovascular disease in population-based studies.
