Abstract
This review explains the pathophysiological changes that elevated blood pressure produces in the retinal circulation. Recent studies show that some specific retinal signs are strong predictors of stroke, independent of elevated blood pressure. Identifying the degree of retinopathy can help clinicians to deliver optimal treatment and prevent cardiovascular disease and death.Keywords
