Retinal vascular network: Changes with aging and systemic vascular disease (cardiac and cerebral)

Caractéristiques vasculaires rétiniennes : modifications lors du vieillissement et en pathologie vasculaire systémique (cardiaque et cérébrale)

Résumé

For over 10 years, the description of the retinal microvascular network has benefited from the development of new imaging techniques. Automated retinal image analysis software, as well as OCT angiography (OCT-A), are able to highlight subtle, early changes in the retinal vascular network thanks to a large amount of microvascular quantitative data. The challenge of current research is to demonstrate the association between these microvascular changes, the systemic vascular aging process, and cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease. Indeed, a pathophysiological continuum exists between retinal microvascular changes and systemic vascular diseases. In the Montrachet study, we found that a suboptimal retinal vascular network, as identified by the Singapore I Vessel Assessment (SIVA) software, was significantly associated with treated diabetes and an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. In addition, we supplemented our research on the retinal vascular network with the use of OCT-A. In the EYE-MI study, we showed the potential role of quantitative characterization of the retinal microvascular network by OCT-A in order to assess the cardiovascular risk profile of patients with a history of myocardial infarction. A high AHA (American Heart Association) risk score was associated with low retinal vascular density independently of hemodynamic changes. Thus, a better understanding of the association between the retinal microvasculature and macrovascular disease might make its use conceivable for early identification of at-risk patients and to suggest a personalized program of preventative care. The retinal vascular network could therefore represent an indicator of systemic vascular disease as well as an interesting predictive biomarker for vascular events.
