ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1111/micc.12026 | Abstract: | Endothelial dysfunction is a key pathogenic mechanism of CVD. The retinal microvascular network offers a unique, non-invasive window to study endothelial function. Recently, dynamic measurement of retinal vessel caliber using flicker light stimulation has been used to evaluate potential endothelial dysfunction and other mechanisms in CVD. A variety of studies now indicate that retinal vasodilation during flicker light simulation is reduced in diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and obesity, and may be influenced by age and race/ethnicity. These data suggest that flicker light-induced retinal vasodilation may be a unique and non-invasive measure of endothelial dysfunction. This review focuses recent studies on systemic associations of flicker light-induced retinal vasodilation, and discusses the potential for future research in this area. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. | Source Title: | Microcirculation | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/53555 | ISSN: | 10739688 | DOI: | 10.1111/micc.12026 |
