Over the past two decades, population-based studies employing semiautomatic computer-
assisted programs have uncovered associations between retinal microvascular features and …

Purpose: Cardiovascular changes are expected during pregnancy, but inadequate vascular
adaptation or systemic microvascular dysfunction can result in complications in the later …

Objective We aimed to study the maternal retinal microvasculature at mid-trimester and its
relationship with subsequent fetal growth and birth size. Methods We recruited 732 pregnant …

STUDY QUESTION Can abnormalities in retinal microvasculature representing adverse
microcirculatory perfusion and inflammation shed light on the pathophysiology of female …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. In
recent years, studies have shown that the origins of CVD may be traced to vascular and …

The microcirculation is relatively inaccessible to direct visualization and investigation.
Recent methods have been developed which use advanced retinal photographic imaging …

Introduction Visualisation of the microcirculation through retinal imaging can provide
information on the health of systemic vasculature. Characterisation of the retinal vasculature …

Background Changes in the microvasculature associated with pre-eclampsia and
gestational hypertension have been proposed as a potential pathway in the development of …

Background Gestational diabetes, pregnancy-associated hypertension and small-for-
gestational age babies are all associated with impaired placental vascularisation. This study …

Purpose: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with long-term risk of diabetes in
pregnant women. Although the exact mechanisms are unknown, a role for the …
