Eyes will reveal heart disease: The scanning report of the retina will tell how much the risk of heart disease and stroke, the blood circulation of the eyes indicates these diseases; American researchers claim. A simple eye test will reveal your risk of heart disease. This test will be able to know how much the human is at risk of heart disease and stroke.

American researchers say, by examining the retina, it can be told how low blood circulation is in the human eye. The same thing indicates heart diseases. This claim has been made by researchers from the University of California, San Diego, in their recent research.
How eye test gives accurate results? Researchers say, if the blood circulation in the body is reduced or not enough, it also affects the retinal cells of the eyes. Dr. Matthew Beckham, a retina surgeon at the University of California, says its investigation can reduce the risk of heart diseases in the future. According to research, heart disease named ischemia can be detected by examining the retina. In such a situation, the oxygen level in the body drops, and the risk of damage to the arteries increases.
Scientists at the University of California are planning that any patients who show symptoms of ischemia in a retinal test will be referred to cardiologists. Researchers say, to understand eye diseases from the retina, Scientists made a research on more than 13000 patients. The retinas of these patients were examined between the years 2014 and 2019. In this test, heart disease was confirmed in 84 people. Of these 84, 58 were suffering from coronary heart disease. At the same time, 26 patients had a stroke attack. In both diseases, the direct connection of the patient was related to blood circulation.
Why is a retina test necessary? With the help of a retina tests, experts diagnose diseases like glaucoma and macular hole. It is a simple test and patients do not have to go through any kind of pain during this. Researchers say, usually until a person does not suffer from heart disease, tests related to it are not done. In such a situation, the examination of the retina will be able to tell the condition of the patient's eyes as well as his heart. If the risk of heart disease is detected in time, it can be prevented through diet and exercise.
More than millions of people in the world suffer from a heart attack every year. These cases are increasing year after year, so it needs to be controlled.
