Background: Hypertensionis a major risk factor for the de-velopment of cardiovascular disorders. Years before end organ damage is clinically evident, hypertension is considered a silent killer. Since retinal arterioles share anatomical and physiologi-cal properties with cerebral and coronary microcirculation, and can be monitored easily and non-invasively, it can thus be con-sidered an in vivo win...
